if you’re concerned that your seed starting pots aren’t sterile or perfectly clean listen to this I’m outside it’s freezing out here and I’m getting ready to transplant some seedlings into these larger containers they’ve been outside all winter and I’m not worried about that here check this out this tray of seedlings is pretty darn Dusty right but I’m going to use them it’s a myth that damping off disease is caused by non-sterile soil and non-sterile pot I’ve been starting seedlings for almost 40 years now and the primary cause of damping off disease is lack of adequate air circulation so keep fans running on your seedlings at all times so there you go have a great day cheers

Soil isn't sterile. I don't understand why people boil their dirt before starting seeds. Don't you want to give your seeds conditions like Nature does?
