To prevent contamination we would need to wear latex gloves and
sterilize them between plants.


You *don't*? I do. Or I wash and bleach my hands between plants,
being sure to get under the nails.


No I don't and I never did. You also have to sterilize the pan between
each plant. You must have a lot of free time. How many plants do you have?


I stopped counting at 700, so there are more than that in my collection.

Cross contamination is very difficult to prevent.


Which doesn't mean you don't do your darndest try to prevent it.


This is true, but I don't have the time to sterilize the soaking pan and
my hands after each and every plant.
