CONSIDER SELLING IT. IF ROOM, COMPOST IT BY MIXING IT WITH KITCHEN SCRAPS/WASTE LEAVES AND STRIPS OF NEWSPAPER FOR USE IN FUTURE YEARS,. YOU COULD CONSTRUCT A RAISED GARDEN AND USE IT THERE.
GIVE IT TO A NEIGHBOUR. PERHAPS THE WEEKLY TRASH COLLECTOR WILL ACCEPT IT.
I like to keep it around to repot house plants or I put potting soil on my garden before I plant it for the season.
Start a compost bin. Rototill it into your garden soil.
I either compost it or I toss it into the wooded area of my garden, breaking it up with a rake. After a while, it just breaks down.
This is good to fill in dips and holes in the yard. Break it up and put some fertilizer in it if you want grass to grow over it (maybe some cow manure). I turn it over with the yard dirt as I add sand and good to soil when I make flower beds.
use it in the bottom of this years containers and top with fresh soil
You can put it in your gardens, a little fertilizer and it won't be much different to putting in new garden soil to give it a boost. I usually mix the potting soil in a plant with fresh potting soil so that I replace at least half of it with fresh soil and some peat moss. My plants do great doing it this way and I save on the amount of new potting soil I have to use.
My nursery said it was really good if it was left over from last year, and she was right, it was full of earth worms. Great for soil too. it Was still in the bags.
