I picked up 10 big bags of Natural Gardner turkey poop (they still owe
me 10 more, since I couldn't fit more than 10 at once in my truck). I
spread it all over the top of my veggie garden like mulch and in my
containers with fresh container soil and the ones who got the fixed up
mix with turkey poop, are popping peppers, tomatoes and eggplants all
over, but the other old containers without fresh mix are not do doing
anything.


Soil in containers can be reused and more effectively if you add
compost to it, but the soil must be first removed, clumps broken up
and aerated by doing so. Mix in the amendments and replant and you'll
have more success.
