What's that in this context, and how do you know you have it? You're
scaring me now maybe I should stick to tins!

Only things which will affect the tomato's growth, not things which are
dangerous to you!

If you're getting good crops of tomatoes, there's nothing to worry
about.

Phew, I'll put the tin opener away then.

What do you sterilise the soil with?

I can't tell you that, I'm afraid. It's still available on-line
though. You're supposed to use it for sterilising pots and hard
surfaces.

Of course, if you really sterilise your glass very thoroughly and you
put your pots on the soil and sterilise them very thoroughly it is
inevitable but some of the sterilant must reach the soil.
