I give about 3-4 mins a load(Depends on your microwave), and it surprising
how much you can do in an hour, esp. if you have 2 dishes. you just have

With microwaves new for under £30.00 it is by far the most economical way to
sterilize for potting, esp. if you have moles pulling up a load of soil for
you

As you tip the soil, keep it covered with a plastic sack or something
similar and it will carry on cooking for a time.

You can now make a good John Innes compost

At last a sensible use for the microwave ;~}
