I am from the philippines and i was searching yesterday how to
sterilize the soil in the lot fronting our property. its been vacant
and the owner agreed that i plant veggies there. the thing is, its
not fenced and dogs from everywhere, as well as cats, use the place as
toilet. so i wanted to sterilize it first before i plant veggies. By
soil solarization, you can get rid of nematodes, etc in the garden as
well as weeds. please search the net about soil solarization.
