Hi Barb,
Congratulations on your success with the tomatoes!

In most cases you can reuse the soil in an Earthbox as long as you replenish with new fertilizer. Personally, I find that tomatoes have such a big root system, that I do tend to change soil after just one year. If however, you sift the soil through a mesh screen, to get rid of the roots, you can reuse the rest again.

They are over 7ft now with lots of tomatoes! Yeah! I was wondering if U can use the soil in the pots, more than once??
Thanks!
Barb

We grow a lot in pots cause the soil at our house in not so great. In our case it does require a bit more watering as the soil tends to dry out a bit, but the upside is you pay better attention to your plants that way.

I use Whitney Farm 5-5-5 for my earthboxes.
