I have a question about climbing branches

[SPARTAN 77]

I find branches outside and want to use them as climbers for my BP, so my question is how do make sure it's disinfected? I mean from mites, ticks etc. I thought about freezing them, but will this work? I you know that would be great.

Will the branches fit in your oven? I soak in a bathtub w/ a bleach/water/nix mix then bake them

nope. They don't fit in the oven, I have not tried doing the bathtub thing yet, do you think that would work? Again I can not bake it because the oven is not big enough.

I do the same, I just add a little nix treatment

Good addition!

haha well its so cheap here, I figured it wouldn't hurt. If you don't have nix, the bleach/water method works great. Just make sure you get all that bleach out, although it will probably be pretty diluted.

1:10 or 10% bleach is sufficient

so the bleach won't hurt the Bp in any way? just want to make sure.

[paulholcomb]

you still have to rinse well after!
