I do it with my homemade compost that goes into my germination and seedling mix to kill fungi.
Really works great .
 
Doesn't this kill the beneficial bacteria as well? What would be the potential repercussions from something like that?

The beneficial bacteria is more a long term thing to develop and help the soil .
Short term , no problem .
 
Microwave, oven and fire are about the only organic way to bring home made potting soil indoors without bringing the bugs in with it.  Made that mistake once.  Today, I dont even want to winter over for fear of what I might bring inside.
