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

Is it worth doing?


Any comments?


It is extremely stinky to heat/sterilize soil. If the old m'wave is in
a shed, it should be OK, but I sure wouldn't want to do it in my
kitchen!
