They eventually get so root bound you have just replace the soil.

While some of mine are still workable, fully 10 are at end of life. I
have 12 bags arriving tomorrow so we can refresh the beds.

you can always use those old root balls in the compost
piles or just bury them someplace and let the worms figure
it out. :) or use them as mulch or ...

Oh we use it up as yard filler here and there. Nothing wasted in the

Fascinating. I always wondered why they had such a limited
lifespan.

Usually rootballs. If you have a composter, you can add it there and
let time turn it into new soil. Nothing is really 'lost' here, I just
repurpose it.

The new soil is slowly populating more containers and we are moving
plants ready to go into larger containters now.

Turns out delicata squash is easy from seed. Fast sprouting too!

About 30 days from now I should have croppable lettuce, herbs, and
early tomato types.
