Other aid. Need-based financial aid may be adjusted if you subsequently receive additional aid (scholarships, grants or loans). Private scholarship awards may reduce Board of Governors equity awards, loan eligibility or other aid.
Ways to Reuse Potting Soil. The easiest way to reuse old potting mix? Simply remove old plants from their containers, fluff up the soil and replant. If you've reused the same soil for several years or it's developed a white surface crust, you may have to cut it with 50 percent new potting soil and/or apply fertilizer.
Instead of potting mix, use soil out of the garden if you sterilize it by heating to 180 degrees for half an hour (see Resources for directions.) Very fibrous organic materials like peat moss and fine bark may be used since they increase the airiness of the soil.
