I hate throwing things away, and it seems a shame to throw old used
compost onto the compost heap.

I need to get rid of weed seeds and any nasty bugs and even nastier
diease's.

Would it be best to microwave small qtys, or put some in the gas oven.
I remember doing this as a kid for my dad, and spoiling the stew pot.
But I canot remember the results.

Or just use jeyes fluid, but will that kill the weeds.

Or maybe bleach or maybe hydrogen peroxide, I seem to remember these
bearkdown into mainly water.

Does anybody have any experiences ???? they cou;d share.


Unless my old used compost has vine weevil in it I throw all of it and
anything into my compost bins ........the heat generated in a good compost
bin will kill most things including weeds

If I want to sterilise soil i put a metal tray of it on top of my
incinerator full of dry twigs etc .......light the incinerator and i kill 2
birds with one stone !!!!
