Organic folk use Hot water treated seeds, doesn't do them all.

So far I have 5 to 1 plant pathologist say to use the chlorine bleach

as it kills more of them. If you look real close there is chlorine as part
of a normal plants uptake. Look at labels on fish emulsion and 
Miricale grow. Last ingredient on label.
