When I repot or have used potting soil I put it in one of the many places in the yard that is a low spot. Since we moved here almost 5 years ago we have been gradually trying to work at that so it makes good use of the soil. |

..  .Oh I like that idea...it gets pretty expensive when I have to pot up my plants...adding the slow release fertilizer is a good idea...and amending the garden soil with it too. Thanks for the ideas...my hubby will be thankful, lol

You can add organic materials in it so that the soil will have nutrients added. Soil will never lose its nutrients totally so you can be sure some nutrients are still there even if the soil were used for planting the past years. |
