How to re use soil? I have a bunch of ocean forest soil, and I'm about to chop, how can I reuse and recharge my soul to reuse it? Can I store it outside for next year?

Setup. Outdoor

ph, fauna, amounts of nutes, there will be some obstacles in your way, but people do even first without buying ... Plenty of forums how to create your own soil or renew used one. I always bought new and old one was using in my veg garden.

So, doing this is easy and a lot cheaper than buying new soil. Don't let people bro-science you out of this habit. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to not re-amend soil and use it again. What I use is BuildASoil Craft Blend. It has everything I used to make my living super soil And to re-amend soil I used from a previous cycle. You just use 2-4 cups of craft blend for every cubic foot (7.5 gallons) of soil you're amending. Mix it well and boom, soil with everything a plant could ever want! I hope this helps.

I wouldn't. Lots of time and effort would need to be spent when it's easier and safer and you'll know the exact composition of nutes in your soil if you just go buy another bag of it... I'd use it to fill in holes in my yard or add it to my compost pile....

New plants = new soil. Trying to save a few dollars by reusing soil is really quite pointless, the build up of fertilizer salts, pathogens and other crap just means your plants are behind the eight ball from day one. Give them the best chance to perform.... this means fresh, clean and healthy soil each time. Considering the entire cost, time and effort to grow plants, soil is only a minor outlay, skimping here just leads to second rate results.

I'm reusing the same soil since 2019 ahaha i only let the nature do the work for me :) i simply put It in a big pot (50L) and rest for late autumn/winter on outdoor, putting some cannabis leaves, egg shells, and maybe Worms :) in 5-6 month it's ready! A classic compost :)

Hi there You would have to sive and clean it out and add base nutrients, Personally I think for what it’s worth you might as well just buy new soil, it’s giving your plant the best start and trying to remove the roots from soil from a previous grow is not a fun thing to do.. Best of luck 🌱
