First Dirted Tank

I am planning on creating my first dirted tank.  I would ideally like to keep this tank for 10-15 years.  Will the dirt hold up that long or will I have to replace it after a year or so? Thanks.

Dirt will last a couple years 2-3 maybe more but don't worry that's what root tabs are for :D

So after 2-3 years should I replace the dirt or just put in root tabs and leave the dirt in?

The cheaper thing woul to jus use root tabs but some ppl replace it all an use the opportunity to reshape their aquarium
