Have you ever wondered if you can reuse your old potting soil? You know, those pots from last year that had tomatoes in them? This question has been asked numerous times in various gardening forums in Facebook groups, and the answers are sometimes surprisingly ill-informed. To save money and to practice frugal gardening methods, recycling depleted potting soil is not only something we gardeners can do, but we can make better potting soil if we take the right steps. In this video, I will show you four different ways to recycle and reuse your old potting soil. We will cover the simplest methods and move up what I call the â€œfertility scaleâ€ to achieve a potting mixture that is more nutrient-rich than it was when you first bought it.
