Using "old" compost

banf77 · « **on:** October 07, 2008, 21:17 »

Hi all,

I have a number of potted plants which are in shop bought compost.
Now the plants are on the verge of being dead, can I add the "used" compost to the garden plot?

Cheers
Steve

No problems whatsoever & welcome to the forums, Steve.

Perhaps you'll pop up to the welcome forum & introduce yourself.
