I have a couple of bags of compost I didn't use last year. They were left out in the rain in between the house and a fence. I'm just wondering would they be of any use this year? I suppose they've lost most of the nutrients in the rain so wouldn't use in pots but maybe to mix into my soil in my raised beds?

Yep, mix them into your soil in your raised beds.
Should do no harm to condition the soil........ and you are right, I expect most of the nutrients to be leeched away by the rain.

Great, thanks. Do you think I should put in fertiliser as I'm doing it or wait till stuff starts to grow? Bought some of this stuff: http://www.marshalls-seeds.ie/bio-gro-black-gold-pid4845.html

It says it is "Fully soluble", so this could be applied for a boost once things start to grow.
