Irish moss peat

While clearing the shed I found a bag of Irish moss peat left by the previous owners. I know it's at least four years old and was going to dump it, but thought as I hate to waste things I would check with you all first. As it's so old would I be in danger of adding something bad to my new veg bed if it was mixed in with soil and compost? Thanks in advance as all help gratefully received. 🙂

I'd add it happily.
I think it may be on the acidic side, not sure how much.
It used to be sold and used as a soil conditioner as much as in potting mixes.
Something to acidify the soil for more ericaceous plants.
Bear that in mind for your veggies?
But if it is only a bit and you are mixing with other stuff anyway, use it up.
Even if it was a bit manky I would still use it, or compost it though it is already.
I've been clearing my sheds and garage - yesterday I found several bags of John Innes compost that had been there for around 20 years (I'd used them to support a workbench). It was very dry and compacted but I've chucked them around the garden
