Reusing soil

I've been doing a bit of online research on whether or not reusing old potting soil is a good idea. Most people suggest either dumping it in the garden or adding it to the compost bin. Neither are viable options for me (every inch of my tiny garden is reserved for vegetables and animals in my area are notorious for knocking garbage cans and compost bins over), so the next best thing is to reuse part of it. Adding compost or a triple mix to old soil should do the trick. As long as the soil hasn't been infected by diseases or insects, the second round of plants should do just fine.

Good stuff! This means more money in my pocket, and I really need that after this year's essential splurge on kilograms after kilograms of soil, manure, containers...
