Can the block be reused after the first harvest?

Many blocks give a second or third smaller flush after resting and soaking. Afterward, the spent block can go in the compost or a garden bed.

Where should the kit be kept?

A spot with indirect light, normal room temperature and no direct heat or drafts works well for most oyster kits.
