With winter approaching, I am planning for how to cook and store soil.

Currently, I don't have a room temperature place to store that much soil. The main basement is 50-55 in the winter. Everyplace else except the main house and grow areas are cooler.

The basement just outside my grow areas is currently 65-70 degrees.


Could I cook a bale or two of soil at room temperatures and store it at 50-ish degrees all winter?

Alternatively, can I store the cooked soil in multiple 10-15 gallon totes at grow room temperatures (65-80) before use?

I like the 65-70 degree environment....larger masses of soil generate their own heat, so it seems to work better. If you store it in the cooler environment, let it dry out a bit and then a week before it's time to use, water with warm water and keep the bin warm for a week.

Great questions.
