Q:
Give it to me straight, can we re-use our specialty potting
mixes? The stuff we use is a soilless commercial mix, that
uses a peat moss base and has perlite for better drainage.
We then add our own ingredients like earth worm castings,
some guanos, kelp, etc. Further to that, through the crop
cycle we brew and water in our own aerobic tea blends.
We spend a lot of time, fuss and money on building up the
health of our blend-should we really be throwing it away
after?
The plants we harvest are healthy, and we always flush
with plain water for at least a week before we crop out.
It really seems like a shame, and a bit of a waste. I’m no
hippy, but “grow and toss” just doesn’t seem like the best
possible answer>>>
