flowers and leftover MM ingredients

I don't do much gardening in the ground and have lots of containers, hanging pots, and deck pots for my flowers. This year I also had about 2 cu ft of vermiculite and 2 bags of manure compost left over from mixing my supply of MM. Since most potting soil is mostly peat, I decided to just mix it all together. Not scientific, not a balanced mix, but just using what I had to extend what I had to buy. Hope it works.

Question, next winter when all the flowers are finished, can i dump the mix into my compost bin and reuse next spring?

That's what I do with most of my potted plants that are in potting soil The ones in Mel's Mix, I treat like a square and just add more compost.
