Good use for peat pots and Can I reuse soil?

[ChelswannabeGT]

Okay so I planted a bunch of cauliflower and tomatos most went in peat pots and other in yogurt cups, the ones in the yogurt cups survived and every single peat pot seedling died. Not sure why. What is good to start in peat pots and also can I reuse the soil that the seedlings died in? Ty

Peat pots take more water than plastic pots is probably why the plants died. You can reuse soil over and over and over as long as it isn't contaminated with harmful fungi or bacteria.
