    Hello, maybe a silly question but can you re-use soil that has had wisteria in it? The previous owner of our house left some big plant pots behind, with wisteria stumps in them. Once we've removed the stumps and main roots, can we re-use the soil in the pots, or in the garden, or do we risk getting wisteria sprouting up where it's not wanted? Thanks in advance!

    @LilyTL, yes, you can re-use the compost from the pots but you should remove any roots first. The removed compost would benefit from some granular fertiliser being mixed with it and/or some bagged manure to beef it up before re-using either in pots or in the garden.
