 Hello and welcome to Getting Clean on the Prairies. In this video, I'm going to show you how I take all this old dirt out of my containers and pots and repurpose it into some great new potting soil for this year's containers. So as you can see, this soil is not very nice, it's dry, it's lumpy, it's full of old roots and leaves and some materials that maybe you don't want to have in your potting soil. So I'm going to use my handy dandy sifter here. So every spring I go through my containers and remove probably about five or six inches of the top layer. I just threw it all into this tarp and left it sitting here. So now I want to repurpose this to make up some more potting soil so I can start planting this year's vegetables and flowers. So once I have it here on my barrel, I just kind of work it through the sifter. As you can see, there's a lot of pure light and some old peat moss, those sorts of good stuff in here, dried leaves, decomposed roots, I guess. I can see some eggshells and remnants of last year's compost that I used in my containers. You just rub it in. I don't work at it too hard. These big lumps, I'm not going to worry about trying to break them down. I'm just going to throw this into my compost pile. So as you can see here, what I have left is some nice light soil, nicely sifted. It's got lots of organic material in it. So I'm just going to mix this up with some peat moss and pure light and it'll be ready to go into my containers again. So I got myself a couple of good batches of potting soil already for my planting. Some of my pots filled up. My big red tubs are ready to go. So when I go to plant and fill up these containers, I just add some worm casting, some fertilizer. Depending on what I'm planting, I just try to add whatever additives I can at that time. So I hope you enjoyed this video on how you can take last year's potting soil from your containers and garden and turn it into a fresh batch of potting soil for this year's garden.
