Could anyone advise me how to prepare compost for use in the house for
indoor plants? There are bugs and flies and I would prefer not to
bring them in. Thank you.

If I recall correctly, one of the advantages of compost is the biological
action. Sterilizing seems counterproductive. I am a cheapskate, but I go
and buy potting soil anyway. It might even drain better than home made
oven roasted compost.

That's ONE of the advantages. The other is the physical structure - far
better than some of the soilless mixes sold as houseplant soil.
