  • what to do with spent compost bags

    I'm a keen patio gardner and use a loy of grow bags.

    How often can you use compost from grow bags?

    What can you do with spent compost?

    Earth up spuds in pots, Use it as mulch else where (if you have a garden), recompost it on a heap. Mix in with some fresh compost or leafmould (and plantfood) to fill containers. If it has soured you can also refresh it by adding a small amount of charcoal. (a good trick is to pop a bit in the bottom of all long use pots anyway)

    In theory it will be fine to reuse but it will be fairly stripped of nutrients and as with any rotation it is wise to avoid repeated related crops because of persistent diseases.

          Tomato, meet your cousin, Potato.



          Mulch or soil improver, but NOT where your spuds are going this year.
          Always thank people who have helped you immediately, as they may not be around to thank later.
