Can I still use it?? I want to pot up some herbs and also some bluberry plants.
Hi Lilymacs, it should be ok for herbs and the blueberries will enjoy its acidity ?
I would be inclined to spread it out in the sun and dry it out a bit, maybe adding some fresh to it and then riddling it to remove any hard lumps. If you think its looking too bad to use, mix some peat with it and use it in the bottom of the containers, with some fresh compost on top !
