I would in theory mix up a new batch and add in a shovel full of the old stuff purely for the microbes.

If you really wanted to recycle you would want more worm castings, and then the assorted minerals and feeds. Just watch the PH and either adjust with lime or guano. Oh and hold back a bit on the epsom salts.

Still I would just re-use it elsewhere in the yard or garden and start a new batch while stealing some microbes like I said.

I also am anti flushing of all plant types grown organically. I would use tea up through flowering or fruiting as the case may be. Just adjust the guano type for a spike in N or P.
