I have sucessfully used the bleach soak/rinse method to disinfect my glass cages and my rocks. Any ideas on disinfecting my grapevines and lots of cork wood peices? I'm not sure I want to soak them, cork bark tends to get really soft when wet, and I don't want residual bleach. I've heard of cooking dirt and other substrates in the oven to sterilize. Any thoughts?

I wash the wood with detergent, then rinse with water. After that I put it in the oven for 45-60 mins at 200 degrees celcius.

do you put them in the oven wet? and at 400 degrees farenheit? They don't burn?
