Does anyone reuse their soil or do you just use new soil for each grow? I reuse my soil but will add earthworm casing, steer manure, and chicken manure along with dolomite before reusing my soil.

I'm using BlackGold/Sunshine Mix#4 with added dolomite,worm casting, and Big chunky perlite. (BG and SM#4 are produced my the same Co.)
Y'all should take "Notes" from Cooter !!!!!!Right On !!I do the same and add
back my old composted material.Along with Down to Earth's line of natural dry ferts kelp meal,crab meal,ect.da Secret is OUT!
Aloha's
Congrats on new job...What you think about black gold just by itself? Its the rose one yeah? Its 9$ at ace.. I'm looking for cheapest way but best quality for my money. Just started my new job today so I can finally start getting things rolling![]()

Aloha once again. Having some problems again. My two plants seems to be stunted with leafs curling upwards. Also, both have purple stems, and tips seems to be burned. I think it's in the soil cause one of my neighbors gave it to me and mentioned it was a super soil mix. I think the super soil was a super bad idea. Anyways, any info would help. I did some research and was thinking dolomite? Mahalos
If it's sub's cools recipe, you dont plant straight in the Super Soil because it's to hot, you have to layer the soil, i would suggest going to the organic section of this site and look for Sub's super soil recipe and read the entire post.
If youre using the Supercoil that comes in the brown and purple bag from Home Depot, hit it with some dolomite, but you should really check the Ph of the soil first for a benchmark reading and adjust the soil as needed. Without looking at any pictures it sounds like you might have a phosphorus deficiency
Yeah, but if the soil's already too hot, adding more phos will likely hurt more than help, imo. You obviously have to address the issue asap. I say to flush the hell outta the soil, but I'm not familiar with it and if that would even work with the mix. Anyone else familiar with this think flushing is a good idea?
Tricky,
You don’t even grow in soil so please don’t offer advice on soil, fyi you don’t flush organic soils. Until 808HI answers my questions please remain silent we don't have enough information to determine anything. If he’s using the brand named bag soil called “SUPERSOIL” flushing will only make his condition worse, they contain time released fertilizers, when you water with time released soil (including flushing) you’re releasing more nutrients into the soil, that will certainly compound the issue even further, If he’s using a Sub’s mix that 808HI got elsewhere we need to determine the Ph of the soil first, Until we get a clearer picture of 808HI's soil please shut your trap, you have no idea of what you're talking about
Are you retarded? If he planted into Sub's soil all he needs to do is transplant his plant into another container using the layering method. Just so you know red steams are a sign of phosphorus deficiency, meaning a lack of phosphorus, it can also be caused by the genetics of the plant, but with the information given there really is know way to tell. Do you even know why you’d flush a plant in the first place?….obviously not, but I’ll tell you anyways. It’s typically done to remove salt build up in the soil you fucking moron, if the plant was deficient in phosphorus your idiotic advice was leach out the remaining phosphorous making the condition even worse, if it were a phosphorus toxicity meaning to much phosphorus then flushing would make sense
Well, there is a reason I left a disclaimer and asked for anyone else's advice. I had a feeling there might be time release ferts in there, hence saying I wasn't sure. In my mind I was thinking that if the mix was too hot, adding any more salts would just worsen the osmotic exchange and cause worse burning. Kinda weird how I was just telling the new guy how cool everyone was around here and it's been anything but. All I was trying to do was help, and I believe my post was very clear that I was only injecting an idea that needed further clarification. Anyway, I don't think this thread is for me anymore, the last thing I want to do is upset people.
For what it's worth, I chopped my soil grow last week, I admit I am not anywhere your level at it, and I don't use subcool's mix (or even know what it consists of), I mainly use compost, worm castings and guano. I've been growing a 20x 12 patch of pure organic soil for years as a vegetable garden. I was trying to learn more about how you guys cultivate in soil by listening here.
