Reusing Container Soil
by San
(Georgia)
One container held tomatoes and peppers,which did not do well because of caterpillars.The other container held butter beans.
If the soil can be replenshed and used again how should it be enriched? The soil that was used is Miracle Grow for containers.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Doug says all he does is dig up the container soil to loosen it up. Then I add compost to the soil (about a shovel full per square foot of container). Dig that in and replant.
Slick and easy. With larger containers, you're likely going to have to buy compost to do this but it gets your garden going well, provides the organic matter the plants have used-up and renews everything. It's also a lot cheaper than having to buy new soil every year.
