Can I put the used soil from the grow bags in the greenhouse, where there was the worst tomato blight I've ever seen, onto the veg patch (as I normally do) or should I sterilize it first? I burnt the plants.
I would just spread it onto the veg patch and fork it in. There are so many fungal spores in the air, the few that may be in the compost won't make a significant difference.
Some good sharp winter frosts this year would help
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I have a box next to the compost heap and put all old soil in there and let it weather, as I fill the compost bin add a small amount of well weathered old soil, it works for me. There has been so much blight around yet I never got any, keeping the greenhouse well aired in all weathers is my way, extra vents and a fan to move the air on still days seem to do the trick.
