    Using last year's soil for vegetables?

    I grew plants in 5-gallon bags last year. While I realize that the soil is no longer useful for this year's crop, I'm wondering if it's good for my vegetable garden. Seems wasteful to do nothing with it.

    I'm re-using my soil for my next grow and the 3 plants aren't complaining at all - just fed em with nutes. Won't use it 3 times..

      NebulaHaze has warned against reusing soil for cannabis, and a couple of forum member have not had good luck with the practice. I myself am dumping my used soil into the vegetable garden, and wonder about the effectiveness of this as well. Since nothing has died I say go ahead. Be sure and use some tomato, and vegetable fertilizer though.

          I too reuse the soil, for a second grow (with new organics), or in the garden.

            Go to build a soil. Instagram dude has videos on his soils and he actually is growing veggies in the same soil he grows his bud. These soils have no bottled fertilizer all dry amendments. I have been using the same soil for a year or more now no issues.

              I reuse in my garden after every grow. I just fluff it up with a bit more perlite, add the same organic granular fertilizer which my buds depleted and I've got some cherry tomatoes going now.
