      I usually toss it?? Especially if I haven’t repotted in a long long time.

      It's not necessary. If it's older you can just add amendments like compost any mycology/beneficial bacteria

    Kinda depends on the situation, how much I care about the plant I’m potting into the used soil, etc. Generally, if the soil has been used for a year or longer, I will pitch it. If the soil smells moldy (you’ll know the smell), I definitely pitch it. But if it’s only a little bit of soil that I used to propagate a plant for short time, I’ll find a way to keep it.

    If there's another plant (or the same plant) that I need to replant, I'll try to reuse soil. If not, I throw it into the low spot we have in the back yard 😅

    I put my used house plant soil on our compost pile and it will get used in the vegetable garden and flower beds outside.
