Saving Last Season's Potting Mix for Reuse

I have an 18 gallon pot filled with pine-bark based potting mix that I grew a Brandywine in. I have removed the thickest roots from the mix but there are still very fine hair like roots throughout the mix.

I can't start seeds again until late July so the mix will sit in hot, humid, wet Florida for about 4 months before I can plant seedlings in it in September. I would think the fine hair like roots would break down under those conditions.

What do you think about reusing the mix with these roots left in it for 4 months?
