Even if you don’t have the means to set up a dedicated potting soil rejuvenation area, consider incorporating that old soil into your regular compost bin!
When it comes to giving a second life to the soil from your hanging baskets and containers, composting is a fantastic option. Both the soil and the plant material from your hanging baskets are excellent contributions to a fall compost pile.
What makes the used container soil and plant material so valuable for composting is the instant substance they provide. The aged soil easily integrates into a compost pile and aids in the rapid breakdown of leaves, twigs, and other materials typically added in the fall.
As these components decompose, they contribute to the creation of a finished compost rich in nutrients. This nutrient-packed humus is ideal for blending in equal parts with new potting soil the following spring, providing a powerful boost for your potted plants once more. While it may not be pure potting soil, it certainly ranks as the next best option!
