Another possibility would be to confer with her about acceptable  
sterilization of pots brought in from elsewhere.  This year I filled a  
big bucket up with water and javex and soaked all my little trays and  
small tomato pots in it for a day before use.  I'm also only using  
commercial bagged soil. You can even surface-sterilize seeds  
originating from elsewhere if you are worried about surface-born  
pathogens.  A few minutes in dilute javex will do the trick without  
harming the viability of most seeds (guidelines are available.)
