How is the green house soil component prepared?

Modified on Wed, Feb 8, 2017 at 1:56 PM

Prior to its use in soilwater media, soil is treated in batches by placing it in a heat-resistant pan lined with aluminum foil, filled to a depth of ¼ inch, and baked at 150 °C for 2 hours. After it cools, the pan is covered with aluminum foil and stored in darkness at room temperature - avoiding excessive moisture during storage.
