I'm planning on reusing my soil. Be hard to clean out during the winter months but if I can clean all of it during the summer, it should set me up for the whole winter moving forward.
The bugs (usually fungus gnats) come with the soil. They get in the bags because they live anywhere there is soil and water pretty much.
You are importing them. You need to sunbake your soil first to kill off any hitch-hikers.

I have never had issues with gnats before with my soil. Thats probably cuz the trash cans are on the south facing wall of my property they get slammed with sun so I think the heat in the trash cans probably kills them off.
