What a novel idea!!! I’ve always felt it was so wasteful to throw our soil when repotting. I don’t have space for a wheelbarrow, but I’m excited to try this on a smaller scale. Loved that you kept the worm friends. And appreciate the containers you shared at the end! We’re also in some 8B, but in Washington. Some fun ideas for things to try! 😁

Hey Scott, question...would it be okay to revive the soil at the end of the season and then put it back into the container and cover up throughout winter? Like you did...I'm thinking just adding in the basics (old soil, peat, perlite) and then before planting and compost and fertilizer. I'm 100% container grower and need to keep things as easy as possible...not a ton of space to be storing all the things. Zone 9a Houston ☺️ we are neighbors. OR is it best to just revive when ready to use? I think this question deserves it's own video 😉... Seriously though, how to store USED/how to overwinter old container soil...? Can you just leave it out? Do you bag it? Do you compost it? Do you plant cover crops? Do you store in rubber tote? See so many questions and I know I'm not the only one!? Video please...Thanks!

😅 Those are great questions! I have a pretty simple approach and sometimes I don't do anything until late winter or early spring. I have kept sifted used potting mix in a rubbermaid trash can for extended periods. I have also stored the same type of material in the original plastic bags that I saved. In both cases the items are stored on a pallet (off the ground) in a shaded area and protected from rain. I think of it similar to a compost pile or leaf mold, but the difference is there are smaller, lightweight materials that can be blown away with the wind, so they have to be actively contained. It's probably best to hold off on adding new biology to the mix until closer to planting, but building block materials make sense. Then you're ready to mix the appropriate fertilizer and plant when the time comes. Thank you for the questions, ideas and insights!!

You could use some big plastic storage containers (but not so big you can't move/lift it) to put your leftover soil from your pots along with a few cups of earthworm castings and/or some FoxFarm Happy Frog soil to start the reconditioning and revitalizing of your soil earlier and then add any further amendments later when you start again in the spring. The containers could be stored in your garage and stacked. And then you would also have soil ready to use for houseplants over the winter. If the soil is super dried out, it can be dusty (and hard to breathe) when you open the bins to use -- but you can just add some water (a few cups) and that keeps some moisture in the soil and takes away the dust issue.

What will you do with the bigger debris sifted out? Throw them out or break them up then put it back in? I've got this 'white mold' clumps in my soil and don't know what I should do? Can I torch my soil? My mom will love your garden. Very Malaysian with our national flower the hibiscus, tumeric, mint, ginger. All good for Asian cooking 😄 Grow some pandan. Very nice and aromatic for cooking and a car freshener

The debris that is sifted out can be added to a compost pile in order to break it down further. It may also be used as mulch for trees and shrubs. The "white mold" that you mentioned could be beneficial fungi that play a role in breaking down organic matter. Typically that is a part of the soil food web, and a sign of healthy soil life. I don't recommend torching the soil unless invasive weeds are the issue. I will keep my eyes peeled for some pandan, that looks and sounds like something that I would enjoy growing, and adding to the kitchen. Stay well friend!
