Potting soil
Billy
the sweet basil in the pots that I used last year. It seems a little
manure would, rock phosphate, wood ash, and bone meal would have it back
in shape. There were no disease problems with the basil last year.
Whatcha think?

I re-use potting soil all the time and use it as a Neutral mix/fill.

WHAT? You gonna tell me that Omelet is incompetent to advise me and out
of her tiny little mind if she thinks that potting soil can be reused,
and this is what you can expect in the twilight of civilization, and you
are sad to see me fall in with such a bad lot?
Charlie how can you say such things?
So what have you heard?

Discard if you had pest or disease problems, otherwise
leach it to clear fertilizer salts and add a shot of dolomite
to bring pH back to within 6.0 to 7.0 range. Organically
maintained potting soils can be reused indefinitely.

Just the movie. I rarely read fiction because there is too much reality
and, not enough time.

Geezus... That one is SO true!
As more people realize this, I wonder what is going to happen to fix it?
I pray the revolution that is coming will take place at the ballot box.
The problem is, is there anyone in Washington left that gives a rats ass?

smaller and smaller. This will compact in the pot and air will not reach the
roots so easily. You can do as Father Hadkell has said and it is great
advice, but for me, I'd either compost it with a lot of other organic
matierial or I would add it to flower garden beds, or I would re-use it by
also adding a very large percentage of pine bark fines to the old mix.
