Default reusing ocean forest

does anyone reuse there soilless medium? it seems like such a waste to buy new every time. I know you would have to add new ferts, but can you do it. someone told me before it's not good because of salt build up, but there has to be something you can put in it fix that. let me know what you guys do. if you do reuse what do you put in it, and how much of it?

in theory you could just rinse the soil with lots of clean water

i have read of others doing it, if i remember correctly they composted it for like 3 months then added more perlite and some lime to add porosity and correct ph, i think they added some nutes aswell and i may be forgetting some stuff too, but i think the sitting period is what was relied upon to compost the roots. I have had great success reusing FFOF myself on my tomatoes and houseplants, but i don't think there as picky.

you say ocean forest ....but..... you then say soilless medium so what r u talking about reusing soil sucks you have to flush it and you can cook it to kill bacteria and such. but a soilless medium you could reuse after flushing it
