Is this Coco reusable again?

[Fietchen]

Hello, i finish my Grow and not throw the old coco out but there are lot of roots in the coco so can i use it again? I do the last watering with enzymes..

I don't throw away my raised bed soil every year even though it grew tomatoes last year.

Yes

 

[Fietchen]

Yes

Might be a good idea to flush coco and then rebuffer it with cal-mag before using again, hopefully @Bill284 will drop in

Hey 013 how have you been my friend?
Hope your summer is going well.
Without any scientific explanation this is what I did.
Harvest every month 8-12 pots depending that's a 100lbs of coco a month.
I couldn't afford to to replace so I
Let the pots dry post harvest 2 months, dry.
I'd break it open and pull out the root ball and all the plant matter I could.
Then in mix it with Bokashi and Frass and mist it.
Then I'd mix it 50/50 with fresh coco and new perlite.
Then mix in more Bokashi & Fras & @DYNOMYCO mist mix well and let sit a week or so in a huge tub.
This let's everything start growing inside, microbial and fungal.
Then I'd use that tub to fill my pots Bill284 Method.
Which has more, you guessed it Bokashi, Frass & @DYNOMYCO .
I ran that over and over for years never had issues.
Can't say any science behind the process but it worked.

Take care.

It is going well thank you my friend.
I'll have to put all those tutorials together in a thread by themselves, easier to find.
I've been trying to show some of the tips I've learned doing a perpetual grow.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hope the Coco explanation helped.
It's a way to keep using the old coco at least.
Take care.
