Yes. The roots need to be removed and fresh fertilizer must be added. We prefer to mix old soil half & half with fresh soil.

You can reuse it, but just throw it in your garden and purchase new stuff if you can afford it.

Smell it. If it's nasty, don't use it.

I'm currently running a plant in recycled FFOF and she seems to be doing just fine. I may end up recycling my soil once but definitely not twice.

That would be ~56 gallons of mix, yes?

You would be crazy NOT to recycle it.

It's very easy and cheap to do this. I'm on my third go round with recycled mix. Works great.

I always recycle soil for flower. I supplement and let it cook while the next crop flowers. In veg I use FFOF and a compost and worm castings. I'm always feeding with worm casting run off (every couple of weeks) a little kelp with that. My plants are full and green.
