Old Compost

[Veggie Mackem]

My small amount of container grown Broadbeans have now been exhausted leaving me with several troughs of used compost, will this compost sustain further growing during summer as I have several corgettes and cherry toms ready to plant out?

You'd either need to part mix it with new or put some food back into it.

Should be OK to use, but I would add some fertiliser.

Courgettes are quite heavy feeders so I would also try to add some organic matter like home-made compost or manure to lock in the nutrients and moisture.
