How do you prepare your substrate? Sterilization, content, etc.

What about your substrate?

Where do you gather?

How do you sterilize?

What is your primary content?

Do you vary it per species?

Thx! :)

 
It can depend on the species. The standard that I use is store-bought eco-earth / coconut fiber. Along with that, I add varying amounts of fallen leaves and rotten wood (usually oak), which I microwave to sterilize then store it in the freezer. I'm sure all species will benefit from the added leaves and wood, but it's not vital to all.
