Everything you say is true, but for some of us there are reasons other than economic ones that keep us doing what we've done before. I don't think anybody in this thread recommends keeping old soil if it can be helped. But with good reasons for not replacing soil every year we keep on doing what seems to work. If my plants suffer, then I'll worry about replacing the soil. But if not, and growth is satisfactory, then I probably won't. So different strokes for different folks.

That being said, I do replace my bulb soils each year, and use Tapla's method which has yielded terrific results.
