Do You Pre-Treat Your SubStrate?

[Streller]

I use the cypress bark, and was also paranoid about having mites, so when I ordered mine I put it in a deep freezer for 3 days. It took a while to thaw, then dry out, so I would make sure you have enough to last until the new stuff is ready. (I didn't have a deep freezer, but my boss did and was fine with storing it, just in case you also don't have one)

EDIT: I didn't see all the other posts

Lmao. Your input is just as valid and as helpful as anyone else's, even if someone has given the same advice prior to you giving it.
