Potting Mix Q&A
If you’re a container gardener, you probably have some plants growing in old potting mix. Can you even remember how long they’ve been in there?!
Maybe you’ve got ‘dead dirt’ lying around in old pots and not sure what to do with it. If you’ve invested money in your potting mix and it’s not performing, it’s too valuable to throw away.
Have you ever wondered:
- Can you revitalise and refresh old potting mix? If so, how?
- How do you know if or when to re-pot your plants?
- What can you do if your potted plants have had pests or diseases?
- How can you tell if your potting mix is water repellent?
- Are there any ways you can reuse tired old potting mix? If so, how?
Now is a good time to do an ‘audit’ of your pots and get the answers to these questions and more! That means checking the condition of your plants, soil and pot hygiene.
To help you, I’ve developed a 10 Tip Checklist so you can confidently make the best decisions going forward.
