I have some time off and I've been meaning to make a nice stand for Kermit my GCC. We have some branches from a fig tree we cut down maybe a year ago; they've been sitting in the backyard. The tree wasn't around any pesticides so I know the wood is good.
The thing is, the pieces are pretty big... in the past, with smaller pieces, I've just put them through the rinse cycle of the dishwasher and used the boiling water to kill anything. I'd rather not chop up these big pieces to properly clean them, since they are very lovely and might not easily go back together again
I've been considering buying a cheap kiddie pool and treating them with a very dilute bleach solution, but I'm not sure how I'd even properly dispose of the water o___o; Or how much bleach I ought use (up until now, I've avoided using it like the plague).
Does anyone else have some thoughts ?
