What happens to the compost

[queequay]

After my Potatoes are all dug up (they are in tubs) What do i do with the compost can it be reused for other things?

[shirlthegirl43]

I throw mine into the compost daleks to help balance out all the other stuff.

[Capsid]

I spread mine over the veg beds.

[Noodles]

I either chuck it on the beds at my allotment or add a bit of fertiliser (blood & bone or chicken pellets) and use it to grow salad leaves in.

I've mixed in some fertilizer and fresh compost and used it to grow other veggies...just not tomatoes.

What happens to the compost

True. Not more tomatoes. No potatoes either. Same family tree or what ever you want to call it. Likewise, don't grow toms in spent potato compost.

What happens to the compost

Got myself in a muddle there. Senior moment. But I think you Know what I am trying to say.

[kate&rob]

i've re-used mine to grow carrots in, can't grow them in the lottie very well due to heavy soil so trying them in the trust morrisons bucket

[rustylady]

Add a bit of fertiliser and sow some mixed salad leaves

[kerryp]

i asked this the other day & you know until i read this thread i didnt realise it said dont use it for tomatos.... good job i reread it as thats what i was going to use it for!

[maytreefrannie]

I'm using mine for a cucumber plant, courgettes and a pepper - do I take it these are all OK then?

[Kath]

I am using mine to grow leeks so I hope this is ok?

I've got celery in one and lettuce in another after working in a few chicken pellets and some BFB and both are doing well. When they come out i'll bung the spent compost in the daleks if there's room. If not I'll just mulch it round the fruit bushes. Like others have said, you shouldn't use the same compost for members of the tomato/potato family due to the risk of infection. This family also includes the deadly nightshade so don't try growing that either
