We have 20 acres of woods on our property. The soil is black and rich from centuries of leaf composting. I was wondering if I could dig up some of this soil and treat it somehow to use for potting soil. I'd like to grow some plants inside and don't want to buy soil if I can somehow sterilize this soil.
Could it ever be made sterile enough to start seeds in?
Any guidelines would be most appreciated.
