Yessir. All dirt and wood gets baked, new plants get re-planted into my soil mix before they go in, all moss... 10:1 bleach soak, dry, Mite Off dousing, dry, then place in a moist gallon ziplock bag for a week spraying water into it daily. Douse thoroughly with warm water before placing it.

I forgot before. Bioactive mixes last as long as you maintain them. Every year or so we'll have to irritate the soil and do a partial change. But most research people go up to 3 years with no problems. Yikes! Thats way too long for me.
