I empty my pots and put away every fall (well... except for this fall where life intervened and some pots satyed out all winter... oops!). I sterilize the soil with boiling water and store it in huge trash cans to use for my flowers and in-ground beds the next year. My veggies get fresh soil each year.

Two-year-old flower soil goes into the in-ground "garden" area that may or may not eventually be tilled and used.
