Carol asks…

Can I use compost in house plants?

I’ve made compost and want to use it for houseplants but I don’t want to track inside the insects that live in the compost. Is there a way to kill/sterilize the compost by baking it in an oven?

How to Sterilize Potting Soil

Sterilizing soil for seed starting is one of the easiest things you can do to make seed sprouting a success. Here’s how you do it:

Put your desired amount of soil in an oven roasting bag
Add some water to the soil
Tie the bag
Poke a hole for a meat thermometer
Put the soil bag on the pan
Heat the soil to between 160-170 degrees. (Set the oven on 200, and lower if temp. Of soil goes above 170).
Use the meat thermometer to check the soil temperature.
Leave it in for about 30 minutes
Remove soil and let it cool thoroughly before planting anything in it!

Solarization Sterilizing Garden Soil

Garden soil is a bit more difficult to sterilize, but it can be done using a process called solarization. This is a method of using heat from the sun to kill disease organisms that cause plant problems like verticillium wilt, root rot, damping off and others. In order for your garden to have the full benefit of solarization, the soil needs to reach a temperature of 114 degrees F (46 degrees C) for at least four to six weeks. Here’s how to solarize your soil:

Rototill the soil in the area you want to solarize.
Water the area so that the top foot is moist.
Cover the area with clear plastic, held down with bricks or tacks.
Leave in place for at least a month. In cooler areas, leave in place for two months.
Check the soil every two weeks to make sure it is still moist.
Remove plastic and plant the garden!

A few notes about sterilizing garden soil: For the most part, beneficial organisms will survive the solarization. You can add humic acid or compost to the soil to put back in the good stuff after you’ve solarized. It is not a bad idea to test the compost for weed seeds by watering a little and seeing if it grows. You can water with compost tea to add beneficials back as well.

Solarization goes most quickly in the south, during sunny, dry days. For almost every location, it works best in the summer. If you solarize in the summer, try to leave the soil covered with black plastic during the winter, or plant a thick green mulch crop to build up fertility, and keep weed seeds out until you plant the following spring. (Always remove the plastic before planting!)

GardenersCardiff answers:

Search Better Homes and Gardens, they have quick and easy recipes with a healthy balance of all the vitamins and iron you need.

I made chicken breast and pasta with steamed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. It’s easy and my kids like it.

Don’t fry your foods. Do a lot of grilling or baking. Take vitamins daily, you and your kids. The best prenatal vitamins is Stuarts and for babies and toddlers to age 6, Enfamil’s Polyvisol with or without Iron. The best price is found at Walmart.
