Rejuvenating used container compost

Over the last 2 years, I've grown a lot of veg and summer bedding in containers and so have about 2 cubic metres of spent compost, made up of bought in proprietary peat based product and home made general stuff (grass, plant shreddings, green kitchen waste etc.). How best can I re-use this? Ideally, I would like to rejuvenate it in some way so that I can use it in this year's veg and summer plant containers. I don't have a lot of empty bed space to dig it in, as most of this is deeply mulched with bark.
