Container garden [fungus & critters in soil heat treatment]
Published:
Updated:
Seeing the containers and contents are portable rather than on the ground soil it may be simpler to do the heat treatment. I would not have hot enough outside temperature and enough direct sunlight before spring gardening season. I want to do it when the vegetables are done I have in them now.
I could purchase a metal tub like the old wash tubs and put the container mix in that depending on the size of the tub. Maybe put the tub in a three sided enclosure. Then I could put an electric space heater directing the heat to the tub and bring the container mix up to the required temperature and cook it for the length of time required . Be about the same thing as an oven without the door.
Maybe have a marshmallow roast for myself while I am tending to it.

I thought I remember reading somewhere if you scorch wood that it keeps critters away.
Build the oven about 30x30x30 inches high. Have the three side plus the top and maybe a door on the top of one side leaving enough opening at the bottom to direct the heat in.
Set the tub on three cement blocks for legs so the heat will get underneath. Crank up the heat to about 150 degrees or there about. I had read a few days ago where they bake their starting mix in a household oven to sterilize it for about an hour or there about.
Get a probe thermostat and maybe a thermostat to set inside for air temp.
I already have a pair of welders gloves to handle the tub with and to stick the probe thermostat in the potting nix to make sure the inside temperature is up there.
I will find an article to see what a sterilization temperature is and how long to bake.
I need a new electric heater for the back room where I sit and chew any how. Pick up a heater I can use for the oven and back room both. Just be out the cost of the oven and metal tub. Have the oven screwed together so I can dis assemble and tuck it away into a small space. May need to use it more than the initial baking of what I got any how.
