Newyorkrita said:Rick, I buy potting mix. And yes, I reuse it. I leave the pots full of the potting mix overwinter. Never empty them. Then for new planting I take the top third out and leave the rest. The top I fill with new potting mix.

I take that old used potting mix and put it in the bottom of a new pot I want to use for the driveway farm.


What a great idea! Hurray! ....Just leave it in there. Now why have I been dumping mine out? Duh...

Two things come straight to mind: one, the soil will warm faster in the spring; and two, it's much less work!

Here's my peas. Hilarious! I guess you might say that they are indeed hidden by zinnias!
