How many of you hot wash and sterilise your seed trays or pots, I don't, I will give them a quick rinse with a hose or a wipe with a cloth and have not experienced any problems, do you think it is necessary?

I basically do the same Spec

I don’t.

Quick rinse is all mine get, i do give the greenhouses a good clean though

I was just watching A to Z of TV gardening and Carol Kline was sowing some brassica into an unwashed cell tray

So you are saying I should be washing my greenhouse

Life's too short to sterilise your pots!

As I’m I re-potting I drop the used pots into a trug filled with water, which then gets tipped onto the garden and the pots go back in the box.
That’s it as far as washing pots.

A quick rinse at most

I aim to set up a little washing /outdoor potting station at  the plot. A simple concept next to my IBC water container for washing pots etc and harvested vegetables for the home. All mine get are a rinse and rub.
