I know of folks who just disgard old soil/rootballs after harvest time and have read about some who got busted trying to dispose of this waste. Why not compost this waste? Or worm Bin it? Is it Ethical to the plants? Is it good/Bad for them? What are the pros? The cons? What is your opinion? Lets discuss | ||

 | yes composting the material would be great if you have a compost bin... not everyone is lucky enough to have that option... and those are the ppl who throw it all away...

| I suggest EM-1 to help in the brake down process yea composting it would be good, and remember to add the nutes back in and give enough time for lime to take effect..

| rev or rez i dont remember...her writes for skunk magazine. he said hes been reusing his pro mix for years, and each time it just gets better. just adds more organic material and nutrients to it, and says its fine. he also grows with organics so may not be the same when reused with chems. as in salt build up and ph being off. | ||
