I do reuse my old compost which I have used in containers to grow veg, but don't use it to grow the next seasons veg.
I either use it on my flower border to improve the soil, or, more usually bung it in the compost bin. My garden compost is absolutely brilliant, I've never had the problems which some people have, mushy, smelly etc. It's a lovely crumbly texture. I use spent compost, veg peelings, newspaper, grass cuttings, prunings etc. and I mix this in with multi purpose when filling my containers.
Therefore, I'm not spending as much on multi purpose each year, and the spent compost is being reused.
The problem I would see with reusing the compost in your containers is that after growing one crop in it, the nutrients are probably used up.
By the way. I enjoy looking at the photos on your blog ;D
