Don't concern yourself about getting rid of roots, they become organic matter. Concern yourself with replacing those nutrients and minerals that are removed when you pull the plant and don't put its remains back into the soil.
A FANTASTIC primer for people unfamiliar with the soil food web is Teaming With Microbes. I believe it's now available on Kindle, too. I suggest getting that to start your knowledge base, then you'll have a much easier time understanding the processes that are going on with recycling soil organically.
Thank you for fleshing out my thoughts on this. I hit the issue of organic, but I leave the choice up to the individual. Since it's been so long since I've used synthetics, I've become unfamiliar with what's on the market now.I would be careful reusing any soil that may have been ran with synthetic s, anything that kills soil life and or flush products like final phase or rootboosters like shooting powder . Those product s literally say on the bottle do not reuse medium.

Just called the AN rep and confirmed it's the same formula with plenty of chelators and other synthetic s.......don't let em lie to you when I first started looking at labels I new it was sythenthetic when I couldn't pronounce the words and the even bigger red flag is acronyms like EDDA,EDDHA,EDTA and others
