There is lots of talk about using sterile soil. Some people even sterilize their soil before they use it. Others buy bags of sterile soil.

- Does sterile soil really exist?
- Does sterile soil make a difference to your plants?
I’ll deal with the second question in my next post. Today I want to discuss the existence of sterile soil.
