Default Container gardening
In article says...
How often should a commercially-available potting mix (i.e., a soil-
less growing media) be COMPLETELY removed and replaced with new
commercially-available potting mix?". (I'm not referring to "dirt").

I make my own mix out of pine bark fines and other stuff. That mix
lasts me two years before being replaced. But, even if the mix isn't
being replaced that year, the container still needs to be dumped and new
fertilizer added and then the mix goes back in the container. Check out
the container gardening forum on gardenweb. There's a lot of useful
info about containers and container mixes.
