This is the first time I've seen them in one big stack. Yikes!The rinsing is easy. Because I use a soilless potting mix, nothing much sticks, you just tap 'em out. And when water hits them, they rinse clean.I used to be a bit fanatical about sterilizing, soaked them for a bit in a 1:10 dilution of regular strength (5%) bleach, which is the usual recommendation for sanitizing food prep surfaces and the like. I was concerned about DISEASE festering in the warm, moist, protected indoor conditions. I'm more laid back now, I sponge off with soap and water any dirt stuck to the bottoms from being out in the field for transplanting, and give them all a good water rinse!
