Cleaning and/or sterilizing trays etc.

[tam91]

This will be my second year starting from seed. So, last year all my trays, pots, etc. were new.

Now, with *wonderful* planning and time management, I am now outside shivering cleaning up my seed starting trays and stuff.

I didn't have any diseases in the greenhouse last year other than some "crud". What I've done so far is, dump out any dried bits of dirt clinging to trays/pots, and rinsed them off so that they look clean.

I'm wondering - do I need to bleach them? And if I do bleach them, do I need to rinse them off afterwards? (nothing will be planted for several months)

I have seed starting trays and inserts. Also, pots that I will pot up into, and carrier trays to hold puts and styrofoam cups.
