0066, do not throw away the old soil after changing pots. With such a treatment, you can use it again.

Growing flowerpot soil is always a headache, especially when you have to change pots every year, you have to lose a lot of old soil when you change pots, and you have to make great efforts to get new soil, so you have to enter a vicious circle, so is there a way to reuse the old soil?

As a matter of fact, it is not that the old soil cannot be used. it is just that the old soil needs to be treated before it is used. if it is used directly, there will be some potential risks of diseases and insect pests, and the fertility will be insufficient.

Treatment of old soil

There are usually two ways to deal with the old soil, one can be quickly reused, and the other takes a long time, but it can restore the fertility of the old soil into new soil.

1. Sun exposure and sterilization

If you want the old soil to be reused quickly, you can remove the heels and weeds of the old soil, then spread the plastic bags on the ground, spread the old soil on the plastic bags and expose them to the sun.

In the process of sun exposure, you can often turn it over to make the sun even. after two or three days of exposure, you can kill some germs, insect eggs and some weed seeds.

But the old soil treated in this way is not fertile enough to be used alone. It should be used with the new soil. The ratio of the new soil to the old soil can be 6:4 or 5:5. At the same time, mature organic fertilizer should be added to increase the content of organic matter in the soil. It can also increase fertility.

2. Making rotten leaf soil

If the new soil is more abundant, the blue demon still suggests that you use the old soil to rot the fertile soil, so that it can be used again the next year.

The old soil rotten fat blue demon does this, preparing a big vat or bucket. The blue demon builds a small pool by himself, pours all the old soil into it, and then puts in every time the cleared weeds are dried, and sometimes pours some rice water into it.

After the weeds rot, they are all fertilizers, but the weeds will rot naturally for a long time, so the blue demon also bought some earthworms and put them in.

In this way, earthworms will eat rotten weeds and produce earthworm dung. After a long time, the natural old soil becomes fertile and fertile.
