6. Adjust pH Levels
Using a soil test kit, check the pH level of your mix. If necessary, add lime to raise the pH or sulfur to lower it, aiming for the optimal range suited to the plants you intend to grow.
7. Store Properly Until Use
Once revitalized, store your renewed potting soil in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to use it. Proper storage prevents the growth of mold and preserves the soil’s quality.
By following these steps, you’ll not only reduce waste but also create a more sustainable gardening practice. With just a bit of effort, old potting soil can be transformed to support healthy, thriving plants season after season. Happy gardening!
