My pots and potting spoil, drying out
Should I take the soil out of the pots (and therefore also the rocks) and put fresh potting soil in?

Douglas Hunt on Apr 16, 2012If your potting soil has turned so hard that water runs off, you need to take it out, break it up and moisten it thoroughly before planting again. If you've used the soil for several seasons, it may be time to add it to the compost pile and start with fresh.Helpful Reply
