You can add nutrients, clean out the containers, and generally avoid any
problems with infections and weeds left over from the previous crop.
Contents of the containers to go into a compost heap, perhaps, for future
use in your containers once roots and stuff have had time to compost down.


Yes, I suppose one of the benefits of growing in containers ought to
be not having to worry about rotation. I'll do it that way.
