Hi,
I've got an xxl large shallow grow bag I grew my courgettes and cauliflowers in last summer. There's a lot of soil in there, I don't drive so I've been putting chunks in the brown bin each week and I'm focusing on the top layer.
My question is do I need to ensure it's fully empty and start this year with totally new soil or is it OK to get rid of top half and mix the rest in with new?
I plan to put my courgettes in it again, and some chilli plants.
I don't have an actual garden, just paving slabs which is why I need to make a fake space for my plants!
I'm in a bit if a panic as I grew my plants too early this year, my runner beans are already 5ft and courgettes have 5 strands!!! I was trying to wait til mid May to plant out but may only be able to hold out until next week. (I live in Manchester UK)
