I had a plant that died, and I was just digging it up to plant something new and the dirt under the plant looks like ash and is very dry. Is that a mold? And if so, do I need to replace that dirt? Or how do I prevent it from killing the new plant? Or is this normal?
Soil naturally contains fungi and micro-organisms - it's completely normal. Fungi feed on dead plant matter. There's no need to replace or alter your soil.
