There’s definitely no issue with this! In fact, most people just re-use all of the soil, perhaps adding a little compost or fertilizer each season to boost the nutritional capacity. The primary reason we discuss soil re-use is because we do a lot of container gardening and many people dump the soil each season to make their containers more storable. We think it’s important to point out that this soil is valuable and reusing it is totally kosher! Good luck with your gardens and thanks for the comment!

I’ve reused 1/2 the soil for A couple yrs, adding new soil to it every spring. Because I’m not able to remove soil and store every year due to a bad back, I just leave it in raised beds over winter. Is this safe to do?
