Re-using Soil outdoors

Was wondering if it would be a bad idea to dump the soil from my pots in my yard and use it outside in the spring. Would it be ok to use it again? and if so should i hit it with anything?

I always add mine to the yard, I just slam the rootball on the ground a few times. I don't add anything to it, it just gets spread around.

if your going to use it to grow bud plantz you could mix it about 1/4 re-use soil /w 3/4th new soil. rly not a bad idea at all considering most bag soils ph off the shelf is a bit high..if its jus goin in your tomato or flower garden it'll work great to grow those kinda things there are lots of nutes (usuly) and good stuff like perlite in recycled soils.. i usuly chuck mine into the compost heep to help reduce the high ph.

are you talking regular potting soil or SuperSoil as outlined in Subcool's recipe? If reusing SuperSoil and you throw it in your garden that has other veggies then it may f*** them up. Sub said he's found recycled SuperSoil to be good with tomatoes and raspberries, lettuce will die things of that nature. But this is only for supersoil, figured I'd add this info in here in case a newer person stumbled upon this thread in Sub's sub-forum and thought original poster meant supersoil.

Yeah I should have been clearer. its super soil thats been used. was going to put outside and i figure it would get somewhat flushed just from being out in the elements. I will probably grow a few plants outside in the spring. Bad Idea to use the SS for that?
