A friend of mine is using an old microwave to sterilise soil before
using for cuttings/seeds etc. in his greenhouse.

Stop being such a tight arse and buy some.

Is it worth doing?

Only if your soil is particulary infested with vermin
but I would imagine that you will have to get the soil
roasting hot for around thirty seconds or more. Nasty
bugs and insects can be very hardy critters. They'll
take 100 times more gamma radiation than old todgers
such as yourself can for example.

Will it kill off "good things" as well as bad?

Of course it will todge old man!

Any comments?

Yes, this is the second time you posted this drivel.
Your memory must be shot old man.
