    Hello,
    On trying to clear out the greenhouse, I found an old, half used bag of ericaceous compost. It must have been hiding there for 10+ years! As I have no need for its' possible remaining ericaceous properties, would it be alright just to mix it with a bag ordinary potting compost?

    Something that old I wouldn't use for potting anything precious up. Personally I'd tip it on the compost heap or spread it on your borders.
