So, I lost my OBT and poured his old substrate into my (now winter dormant) organic garden outside. Waste not, want not.
But I have used G Rosea substrate from a recent substrate change (I was looking for a lost mealworm) and I am not sure what to do with it. I figure there are urticating hairs all through this used stuff. Is there some use for it? I know birds and squirrels dig through my gardens outside, so I hate to put something possible dangerous out there for them to dig into to.
Could I use it mixed in with dirt for maybe a houseplant that will receive no animal contact?
Can you even use coco fibre substrate for plants?
Do I toss it? If so, in the trash?
What do you guys do with used substrate?
(This isn't an attempt to recoup costs -- it's cheap -- I just hate to waste things)
Thanks in advance.
