Thanks Luke! I take my house plant soil and dump it into my compost bin. Any thoughts on this process. Also any thoughts on using rich soil from the community garden for house plants? I am all about the cycle of organic life. I know that house plants are a little different but the concept is similar. I would love to not purchase soil as a way of not consuming "products" and plastics.
Hi I reuse my soil too thank you for the information
Thank you for clearing this topic up. There are so many different options on this topic.
Now I know with confidence that it's ok.
Thank you again
Good tip, especially with upcoming tariffs on Canadian peat products to US growers
It’s too expensive not to reuse it.
I will repurpose my containers & raised beds as you suggest. I will save lots, so thanks, Luke.
🌺yep, always happy to hear it’s alright to reuse the old soil, thank you Luke!
Yeah this is good to hear. Potting mix has been one of my biggest expenses every year. Started to make my own to cut down on that but glad to finally get validation that it’s ok to reuse (which I’ve been doing already). Thank you!
Luke, you have convinced me to try old soil!
Thanks a bunch Luke!
Thank you so very much for saving my gardening endeavors. ❤
What is the solution of baking soda to water, Please & Thank you.
Your videos really are helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make them even while running your business. You are needed in this community.
What about pill bugs, I use grow bags & they get infested every yr. I've tried DE, but the bags stay too moist.
Thanks Luke! I just dump the used soil into the "entry" section of my compost pile and get my "fresh" soil from the "exit" (composted) section. Thanks for helping and sharing so freely!💕
Didn’t know you could do that. Thanks for the info
Thank you for the timely advice!
Thanks so much, I always have, but wasn't sure that it was actually OK, or recommended to😂
Thanks Luke.. I was dreading the start of the season and spending sooo much on new soil.
Thanks. I ended up dumping the soil from my grow bags last fall into a corner of the yard. (Storage constraints for the winter). It’s still under snow but my intention is to just dig it up, amend as you suggest and re-use 😀
I dump my soil around my trees that the roots are starting to show and/or I want to plant some Pasta at the base.
I’ve used used potting soil for years and did just about the same method.
LOL, glad to know I've been doing it right for past decades. My neighbor just asked me this a few days ago. Sure! But now I will send her a link to your video to give her confidence its ok.
Perfect timing as I was eyeing up my containers whilst tidying up this afternoon.👍❤
Thanks Luke! I usually dump out about half the old and work in new soil, egg shells, and other amenities.
I’ve got some pots that need this attention! Maybe this week!
I’m in the process of turning my pots over to replenish the soil. Great video and definitely a cost savings. Thanks
Always saving me lots of time and money!
That easy? Thank you! Great help.
T hanks luke for the information was planning to buy all new soil this growing season. Now I won’t. I
I reuse my soil all the time. Sometimes adding it to my raised beds too. 😆
Good information, will make sure to do that going forward.
I do this every year! Especially the last few yeats when potting soils haven't been so goid. Many are mainly wood chips and chunks with some dirt.
Thanks Luke, I learned some valuable information from this video! 👍🏻
Always reuse my soil i
I always wondered.
Was a little alarmed by the fabric pot being reused without giving it a good soak to dissolve all the accumulated salts that inevitability build up, especially with fabric.
You are my go-to channel!
I love you
Thanks for the good info. I plan to reuse my containers and raised bed from last year. I have two new raised beds to fill with old soil from previous grow bags. I noticed the green mold on your grow bag. It looks like that is okay to leave on it. I was going to throw mine away.
Yes, ur very helpful, I am subcribed, bought @ $28 worth of seeds from ur company. I also checked @ for promix in my area and will add this to my previous soil. I have noticed that James Prigioni has ur seeds for sell on his web site. I watch both u n him.
Thank u very much!!
Just noticed your bench is all pallets that’s awesome there’s nothing like up cycling! Good idea to I like it
Very true! My mom had a pot she grew tomatoes in forever. She would mix new in Healy. Great video 😄
