Message: [QUOTE="ChanellG, post: 62404, member: 199"] Do you have room for a storage bin? A trash can? I compost in a rubbermaid tub. The past six months or so I have been lazy about it and have not be turning it regularly. I opened it recently to add kitchen scraps for the first time in ages and was surprised to see the yard waste had started to look like soil. To your original question - the main difference between potting soil and garden soil is. well soil. Potting mixes have less soil and more composted stuff like moss so that they don't hold much water. Putting this in a garden bed is a waste, but not detrimental unless the plants were sick or infested like Chuck said. If you have a corner in which you can stack pots in the future, you could gradually recycle the soil in a small compost bin (use a plastic garbage can). [/QUOTE]
