Saving soil?

If using strictly organics? Not only is your soil re-useable., it will improve with age. I use 29 gallon storage totes to put mt used soil in. Remove all large roots and obvious foreign matter. Then leave for the winter. Come spring I add at least half as much new soil and amend as if new. Moisten lightly and gold in about a week. Hope it helps. Dirt only is useless after synthetics.

Thanks, I was asking because one of my plants just isn't growing. I feel like ots a waste to just toss the soil after I just repotted a week an a half ago. I think it's stunted. It hasn't budged for 2 weeks. BTW, I'm new to this. Lol...but its 5 gals. Of soil, would hate to waste it.

My go-to is Mother Earth Terra Craft Potting soil. ME 60% FFHF 30% perlite 10%
I like the Happy Frog for the beneficial microbes. Them 2 soils go together pretty well for their NPK Ratios

Those are actually the two soils I used, I used ME while I waited for my Happy Frog in the mail. I feel that ME gave me better results with my seedlings.

not soil but i used to reuse my perlite after cleaning most of the roots out of it and giving it a soak with bio bugs i would get record yeilds.
Yes i grow in pure perlite, i prefer it to coco.
