Soil Sterilization

Sterilizing the sowing mixture helps to prevent damping-off disease, which is caused by fungi that are encouraged by poor drainage and overwatering.

The easiest way to sterilize the mixture is to pour boiling water over it, or drench it with a fungicide like Virikop ​or Fungi-Nil. Basimid, from Efekto, sterilizes soil against weed seeds, nematodes and harmful pathogens.

Alternatively, place the sowing mixture in a covered baking pan and bake it in the oven at 80°C for 10 minutes
(if you can stand the smell in the kitchen!).
