What to do with all the soil?!

As autumn draws in I'm finding myself sitting on several pots/bags of empty soil - home to various veg and annuals over the summer. Probably a couple of hundred litres in total. I don't have the space to tip it out onto beds or into a compost heap, so wondering what else to do with it! Can I just reuse it next year? That was my original plan but then common sense kicked in and made me think about all the nutrients having been used up this year and not there for anything that goes in next. Or am I overthinking it?!

 

Yes, the nutrients will have been exhausted but it can still be used.
You can use it for bottom half of pots for next year....Fresh compost on top half. Sure you cannot use it spread around plants in the garden? 200 litres is not really a large amount.
Use it as a mulch too.

 

I put all my old pot soil on the borders and top dress with fresh soil every year, my garden had never been gardened when we moved in and the house is 50yrs old, its clayey in places at first all the old soil went into the worst areas,

After fours year my borders are a pleasure to turn over, what was once hard work is now a pleasure .

 

Thanks all. At the moment there isn't anywhere on the borders to put it, but I'll give it another couple of months for everything to die back and try then. Daft question, but if you're tipping more soil onto your borders every year how do you prevent the borders getting too high over time? Or is it a case of too little soil to have that much of an impact?

 

I keep widening the borders and creating new ones, it will be a few years before I don't know what to do with it, just be creative I'm sure you will find somewhere for it .

 

Some rockery ideas here you can easily loose lots of soil making one, I like idea number 6.

I installed a pond recently, I built a rockery waterfall with what came out of the hole.

 

2nd bassoon, compost itself breaks down and it takes a lot of it over the years to raise soil level.
Be aware not to put too much extra soil around shrubs though ....most perennials will cope well enough with it

 

@ARMANDII that is fantastic, thank you, I'd never properly differentiated soil/compost in my head before, that explains a lot! So simple really....

I wish I had space for a rockery or to widen the beds, beautiful pictures @martin-f and I've been watching your pond develop with envy - one day I'll have a garden with running water but sadly not in this one (combination of space limitation and rented property).
