Old smelly soil?

[Mark Wolek <mwolek at omiintl_com>]

About a year ago I was going to use a topsoil / sand mix under my gravel bed
in my planted tank.  So I mixed the sand and soil in a tub and soaked it all
in water to leech....
 
For a year....
 
now its nasty and smells funky, if I drain the water and let it sit in the
sun or something for a bit is it still usable?  or should I toss it and
start again?   
There will be fish in the tank.
 
Thanks,
Mark
