Recommend an Ozone generator?

01 January 1970 0 2K Report

I am trying to sterilize dead leaves. Apparently autoclaving doesn't kill off spores. I found gamma radiation is too costly. Someone suggested ozone. There are many companies that sell ozone generators but price varies from £250-£2500. Any recommendations?
