so i have a problem with buying dirt and throwing it out after one grow. So. I have started to use my dirt agian amended with some goodies.
I usually use ffof striaght out of the bag with great results.

I added about 1/3-1/4 new ff dirt.
about 1/2 perlite after that. then placed the dirt in my 5gals that i will be using next week. Then added about 10 tbs of bone meal(3-15-?) and bat guano(o-5-0), 2 cups worm castings(1-0-0) to each bucket. I watered them a small amount, mixed and now it sits till i need it.

Post up your soil remix formula or comment on mine.

thx.

all you have to do is thouroughly flush your soil several times then it will be safe to reuse. rinsing will rid it of all the former salts making it pure again. when money runs tight you gotta reuse

whats the best way to remove the old roots? I was thinking maybe just hold the stem and shake all the soil off into a box or w/e.. i also thought about putting the whole root/soil mass in water untill the roots and plant come away clean leaving all the soil in the water then straining all the water leaving just soil.. I would think the biggest problem w/ reusing soil iwould be the old roots wouldnt it? I will def be reusing soil as FF soil is about 40.00 for 1 bag here.. Plus im poor lol.

the old roots will just become compost. the new roots will grow around them

so no need to remove the old roots even if your immediately reusing the soil?

the main root ball yes,stir the old dirt up to mix the roots around,let the soil dry, and then stir. also,dont for get to flush the shit out of the old soil to rid it of toxins,then let it dry again after a good flush. give the dry soil a extremly light dose of nutes,cus soil has some nutes in it naturally,and by flushing,your removin all the benificial nutes/salts.

When I start growing I will be reusing the soil after the plant is finished since its more of a waist to get new dirt every time. Maybe after 5 to 10 uses of the same soil I'd get new soil
