Default Shelf life of fish emulsion?


Layne wrote in message news
Hi all,

I've never used fish emulsion and was wondering what the shelf life of
fish emulsion is once the bottle is opened? Also, I have a 1 gal.
sprayer. If I mix according to directions (1/4 tsp per gal. of water)
how long will the fish emulsion keep in the sprayer if I don't use all
of it in one watering?

Thanks,

Layne

Once opened, the bacteria in the air, and in the bottle might start to grow
and break down the fish emulsion. Maybe it might stink a bit more. Organic
fertilizer doesn't go bad, if anything if it's started to rot, it means it
will be absorbed by the plants even faster.

Synthetic fertilizer doesn't go bad either, but it can absorb moisture, and
create clumps. Just break up the clumps, and it's good to use.
