Used compost

What does everyone else do with their used compost from pots?  I have raised beds which are full, so can't really add the compost to them.  Can it be used again for other crops?

    Hi Vicky, if it has had a diseased plant growing then I would dispose of the compost, otherwise I would just sprinkle round the plants. :smile:

    As long as no disease or pests (looking at you, vine weevil!) , I tip it onto my flowerbeds, or at the base of my hedge.

    I just fluff it up, add some slow release, and refill the bottom of my pots I use for summer bedding plants.  The other half goes on the raised beds, or to fill low spots in the lawn.

    I put it in my compost heap.

    I either sprinkle on my flower beds (I have clay soil so it can go towards helping the condition of it) or it goes onto my compost heap.
