I have old soil in pots that I don’t want anymore. It’s full of roots and weeds, and not of any use to me anymore. How should I dispose of this soil? edit sorry for the weird photo size. i will do better next time.

    Can you just dump the soil in your garden, yard, or a near by park? We’re not talking a truckload, just like 2 or 3 flower pots right?

      This is an interesting idea that I hadn’t considered. I could dump them out on the nearest tree on the sidewalk. Thanks for the suggestion!

        Please don’t.

        Your houseplants could be an invasive species.

      Please don’t.

      What if the OP’s houseplants are invasive species?

        OP said the flower pots are full of weeds. Sounds like even if the plants were an invasive species, 1) they’re already dead, and 2) they were out-competed by the local species.
