I do reuse media for topping off other house plants and hanging baskets in

splash out when the rain hits the dirt or I squirt them with the hose.
Also, this gives the houseplants and hanging baskets a finished look that
you don't get with plain ole dirt.

Good growing,

A friend with a good sized collection in Chicago used to dump it
for mulch under the summer plant area. Turned out to be several
inches deep after a couple of years. Best all weather walk
because it was "mulch" and because it was partially broken down
it packed in well.
