    Is it worth the trouble to recycle your dirt or start over with new dirt?

    Well all depends mate on whether you're making your own soil or just buying supermarket fertilizers

    Standard fertiliser usually falls apart after 1 grow, where as if you travel down the organic route, you will be able to remix your soil and get an extra few grows out of it

    Also after finishing a grow, your standard soil will be completely rinsed of those essential nutrients, thus leaving you with a pile of shite haha

    I was going to start recycling my soil but then decided against it. Has the good doctor said all the nutes are used up.
    Didn't want to grow in soil that I wasn't sure what was in it and have to chase problems and guess at solutions.
    Rather buy new and have piece of mind.

    I always start with fresh soil for piece of mind also. My spent soil gets scattered in my outside ornamental plants and shrubs.
