HI All Just a quick question,I have some old dry rock thats been stored in a shed for a few years.If i boil this rock would it be safe to use again? Any advice would be welcomed thanks.

I'd consider cooking it (not boiling) read Myka's thread on curing and cooking live rock

I'd consider tossing it in the garden.
