What is the Best weather to sow seed to reduce mold?

[Richard Hole]

Hello

Thanks for the suggestions.

I saw an article at http://www.colostate.edu/Dept/CoopEx...il/sterile.htm about how to sterilize soil. Please let me know what you think.

I thought an alternative could be to put some peat moss in a pot of water and then heat the water to 200° F so that the water remains above 180° F for 30 minutes. It may have to be kept on the stove to keep it to these temperatures. Do you think that could be better than putting it in an oven? Some other articles suggest to boil the peat moss. You can see them by doing a search for ‘boil peat’ on Google. I thought using hot water may be easier and reduce the chances of contaminating the oven. Also hot water would distribute heat more evenly.

Your help would be appreciated
Regards Richard.
