Default compost

Bashy says...

Hi,

Can someone tell me, does compost go off?
I bought a 75 litre bag of west advanced plus multi purpose last year
and opened it.
Hardley any of it was used (just a pot's worth at the end of the
summer).
I've just had a look at it and it doesn't look right!!

Any idea's?
Should I just dump it?

Cheers


I've had some cheap compost go mouldy before - white fur
coat on pieces of compost and white fillaments running
through it. Musty smell too. In which case I just mixed it
with garden soil and used it for potting on plants
(outside). I wouldn't use it indoors and definitely not for
seeds as they will likely rot.
