#it gets mixed together and dumped into a big bin whenever whatever we had in that container dies

if you ever see someone throwing away dead potted plants you better take those. reuse those pots. reuse that soil. There's no such thing as "dead" soil. IDK what they were growing in them. Take that soil and reuse it. Mix it with other potting soil, add some cheap granular fertilizer, add some kitchen scraps. do not fucking throw away potting soil!!!!!

your parents buy those hanging baskets from the hardware stores that always die at the end of a year? Reuse those containers! Just break off the stems of the dead plant, stir around the dirt with a shovel, and you're good! There's literally nothing wrong with that potting soil!!
