How long does dolomite lime stay active? Do you have to re-add it ever time when amending supersoil for the next grow?

Dolomite lime takes up to 24 months to fully break down, so I would say no, to re-amending each grow.

Not to be "that guy", but why are you relying on dolomite in a supersoil? There are better alternatives for the longevity.

Crustation meal, oyster shell, mussel shell, granulated gypsum
The whole idea behind a "supersoil" is to give the microbial population something to breakdown. I run veganic 4x8 beds, it's been years since I've had to add any cal/mag inputs. A healthy and productive soil doesn't need pH adjustments.
