Honestly this was one of my main concerns, I didn't wanna have to dig everything out of the planters again. my soil is very loose. (can't tell you how many times ive done this the past couple months with ALL of my plants, for many different reasons.)

How much/what type of soap? I'm a little more hesitant to use bleach than i am soap

EDIT: I suppose drenching the planting medium also means I should do this when they need to be watered, to prevent other issues such as rotting.
