Are you wasting money throwing out "OLD" potting soil that was used last year. I see it happen all the time! Heck, I used to do it myself. Filling containers with soil is the most expensive part of organic gardening. You don't have to keep making that purchase every season. In this video I will show you a simple way to revitalize old used potting soil. It's quick, you'll save money and it's much easier than you think!

I just came inside after doing this with my massive potted Aloe Vera which died from that crazy Texas freeze in February! I was about to cry at the loss until I found one hunk with healthy roots; replanted into a small pot. Lots of old soil that just needs to be amended. No waste. Thanks for the refresher lesson. God bless.

Liked the addition of two inches of new potting soil as a disease barrier. Fresh ideas from you are like fertilizer for my gardening brain!

I have been reusing container soil for years. I store it in plastic garbage cans over winter. In the spring, I shovel it into a concrete mixture. I amend it by adding sphagnum peat, composted manure and composted pine bark. Mix for 10 minutes. Roots and chunks float to the front. I remove those and fill my pots.

Thank goodness we can use it year after year! I love the idea of always adding a couple inches on the top! Thanks!

Excellent information! Also, I received my tomato hooks today and I'm very excited to put them to use! Thank you for your efforts to secure them!

You may consider using the white “food grade” buckets for anything edible. They’re available at most hardware stores, or you can get them for free from restaurants, where they are regularly discarded/recycled.

I'm glad you told me I could do this! I've always done and felt guilty!

4:54 One thing ive noticed about chilie pepper seeds in general is that they germinate SLOWLY or not at all IF THEYRE TOO COLD, and that a digitally controlled heated germination mat, set for about 80-85F, supposedly does wonders for germination rate and speed. I have 2 large mats arriving later today in the mail. Apologies if you already covered that elsewhere.

6:20 Your 2" barrier wont stop fusillium wilt, which is largely vascular, not external, so if the roots drink it in, its just a matter of time.

Thank you so much for your videos! This year I had an amazing tomato yield from my own balcony, learning from your videos! Thank you for your tips, can't wait to re-use this year's pots and soil for for next year!

You just saved me a boat load of money!! My gardening coworker informed me I had to throw away all the potting soil used last year. Then scrub pots with dawn and vinegar. Rinse well and fill only with new potting soil. I was about to toss it all and just buy my veggies because of costs.

Thank you for lovely tips of reusing the soil. I’m about get rid of old plants and use the soil to regrow plants.

I always use garden soil to pot plants with and never have had a problem. I refresh every year with food scrap compost.
