Message: [QUOTE="Oliver Buckle, post: 278155, member: 12649"] If you sanitise everything and end up with a fungal disease it may well be because you sanitised everything, the good bacteria help protect the plants, and plants need to develop immunity in a living environment. Not that you really can sanitise everything, As the doctor pointed out to me when my leg was operated on you are surrounded by millions of bacteria and fungal spores even in a carefully cleaned treatment room and aseptic dressings no longer are the second you break the seal, but if you wash it regularly it will heal. Personally I tap pots to get the excess out, but don't bother cleaning them, never had disease issues yet 🤞 And I would agree with Redback, start with new soil, amendments never replace everything.
