A couple of methods I know for soil
Bokashi composting

Jadam liquid fertilisers

both simple once you get going

Bokashi is quite slow

Jadam can do every week and takes 2 days to brew

You can leave the finished root ball in, amend and plant from there !

I leave the rootball in there too

I am using soil from my first grow last year and it's working out fine. It was outdoor containers and they sat out all winter. This year I dug holes in the ground and dumped in the container soil, roots, wiffle balls and all baby. I expected the soil was played out nutritionally and microbially and did nothing to amend any of that until I started feeding with salts after they were established.

I am a bit of a light touch with the ferts as I learned last year, and my salts I am using I suspect are themselves a bit played out, having drawn moisture and then leaked from the bottom of the bag. I think this made the top of the bag weaker, as a result my plants are deficient for now but I have addressed it.

I hated the idea of buying even the low end soil I use, as the cost doubled. Re-use has worked out for me I would do it again but in the future I will do some microbial restoration early, and store my salts etc. better.

In the past I would remove the rootball and let it decay in the compost, and set the soil aside for a few months and rotate a older batch of soil with new compost and DTE amendments. Add in some recharge and Dynomyko and go from there.
