Default compost & laminates!

Hi
a couple of questions. What can I do with a tub of old ericaceous compost that used to have blueberries in it? can I add it to the compost heap, spread it about? and is is ok to use old laminate floorboards on the allotment - I read somewhere recently that they give of formaldehyde but I'm not sure if thats true.
Any advice would be fab
Thanks
Ellie bean

The ericaceous will be fine in the compost. As for the formaldehyde in the boards, leave your onions on them - embalming may replace pickling
