I start a lot of seeds and use jiffy mix soiless seed starter, wondering if there is some way after I get my seedlings out to kill any seeds left in the mix and reuse it? Thanks. Annette

You can sterilize it, though I don't know the specifics of what the correct process is. Maybe someone will enlighten both of us. Or maybe try to google "soil sterilizing" or something to that effect.

btw, good question... I hope someone has a good and simple answer, like using a microwave, or oven, or maybe even some kind of solar method.
