well, I know that it's not much, and in the summer I would just throw it on my compost pile, but hubby hasn't worked since last fall, (kidney cancer, 3 vertabrae replaced) and I am on Social Sec. due to MS, so money is very tight, I don't have much seed starter left thats why I was going to reuse it. I baked pans of dirt to do my winter sowing in, because I had a heap of mushroom compost. You would crack up if you saw how we lived. In a 1920 cabin, heat with only firewood that we cut and split, cook over an open fire or grill, yada yada. We are pretty primitive here, due to both finances and the love of nature and hard work. I had a roof worker ask me one day if I was Amish, lol. Outside hanging clothes, cooking over the fire ,,,. He said his wife complains because they don't have a dishwasher. rotf I told him to have her come over and follow me around for a weekend. You just do what you have to do. It won't stop me from gardening though, lol. I will just bake the old dirt then use miracle grow later, lol.
