Although I do think that I am now of the opinion that container media must be replaced every season here. My SWC media lasted 2+ seasons in other climates, but here it seems that 1 is the limit if you want to maximize production.

Some routinely change the media in their containers. I use it as long as possible. I think I will add another 5' x 16' x 12" RB this fall and it will be an opportunity to dump all my containers in the new RB and put new compost in my containers.
That will give me 7 large RBs. I have lots of snap beans and broccoli on my mind.
