Can carrot soil be reused?
« on: July 04, 2009, 09:22 »
I have just pulled some carrots from a bucket I was growing them in. Can I use this soil / sand combination for growing anything else in or should I just add it to the compost bin?

Your advice will be most welcome

More carrots  :D Just add a little bit of fertiliser - miracle grow for example

Yes, more carrots or dig it into your beds if you have clay soil like mine.
Cheese makes everything better.

Oh Ice - it's nice to meet someone who does the same for the same reason.

It's worked really well in my raised beds.  I break up the clumps by hand and mix it in, just need to wear gloves because some of the clumps are deposited by cats. :lol:
