Pasteurize it yourself, it's not difficult. A wagner 705 wallpaper steamer with the hose ran into a 30g tub. then place your soil bag in the tub, but not sitting directly on the bottom, steam needs to circulate under and around all sides of the bag. Monitor temperature and start a 2 hr timer when it gets above 130f. Try to keep it below 155 or you kill of some beneficial fungi (actinomycetes).

Here's a thread to demonstrate the idea, it's a common practice in mushroom cultivation.
