Re-cycling Compost?

[BrianNN5]

Apologies, I asked this elsewhere but have started a new thread in the hope of obtaining your views.

I grew some potatoes in Potato sacks for the first time last year, using a mix of General Purpose/Vegetable Growing compost. This was an expensive start up cost as I don't have much room and no home created compost to use.

I have this years seed potatoes in their chitting trays, but will I be able to re-use the compost again this year if I add some fertiliser (at the rate advised in earlier threads).

Is 2-years about all I will get from the compost before I start risking infection?
What do others do?

I do not have facilities to sterilise the used compost.

Thanks

I would sift it to remove any roots and add fertlizer then use it for a crop other than potatoes. That way you will reduce the risk of disease. Or you could add it to the ground/raised beds to improve the soil.
