I grew a couple of dwarf tomatoes in earth box-type containers this year, and although almost all the leaves developed wilt, the fruit still ripened. I will trash the plants instead of composting them, but I was wondering about the several cubic feet of mix in the containers. Wilt, I understand, is caused by an infection from the soil so I will remove the mix and clean the containers, but can I use the discarded mix for growing other crops, or even just filling in some sunken spots in the lawn caused by burrowing animals? If not, how should I dispose of it?
