My experience is 30 years old, which is why I refer you to Wikipedia and YouTube for details.
The metals are dissolving into the water. It's not immediate so you wouldn't notice much in the short timeframe you're testing it for. Like I said, you've made a simple battery, much like a "coppertop" Duracell etc. They are not "infinite" as your title claims. You're also giving off various gases, some of them deadly like Cl2, and some flammable like H2, so be careful where you run your tests.
You keep mentioning soil, but as I keep saying, you're just making your rudimentary battery dirty. You might as well be adding orange food colouring, or broccoli juice, or eye of newt to the water. In fact, that would be preferrable because then you wouldn't have dirt all over the diodes.

Santa's little helper creates free energy just in time for Christmas! (how to charge infinite car batteries for free)
As far as I am concerned your 30 years experience trumps the highly censored Wiki and YouTube by far!
What if there were other energies present in the ground not mentioned by Wiki?
I didn't get into it in this post but I believe the orientation of these cells (when placed in the ground) is important because when they are placed in alignment with our magnetic north/south they will produce a higher output. You'll see...
I also intend to paint the outside of my copper cells in a particular way with red lacquer paint before they are buried which I believe will protect them from long term corrosion.
Something else I considered is that an open field of soil is not at all the same thing as an enclosed cell of water (or whatever the transfer medium is). The reason for this is the micro-organisms in healthy soil which are constantly moving around and doing their thing. As pointed out in my most recent post, plants and soil respond very well to this kind of low voltage electricity and so the micro-organisms will continue to be super active around the cells, constantly replenishing the soil. The only thing which then needs to be added from time to time (if it doesn't rain) is water.
And while these earth batteries may not last forever, they will certainly last a long time. As long as it takes to corrode away the diodes. Which surely must be years or even decades?
Childish disingenuous comments, dude. You're on your own from here.
I do apologise if I have offended you with my words. That was not at all my intention.
Was finding this conversation super interesting and rather hoped you might point me towards some solid data which shows how long these cells can last in the soil. But I guess you're not up for that.
Thank you for your guidance on this. And as I mentioned before do please check out my electroculture posts. The information there has the capacity to change a person's life.
