Default Do bags of fertilizer get old?

A store was going out of business, so I bought 2 years worth of the
fertilizer products, the kind that comes in 4 different kinds,
numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 for spring, early summer etc.

I've decided not to use the stuff, so I want to sell it or give it
away, but I don't know if it is still worth anything.

Grass seed gets much older and less viable every year, but fertilizer
and crabgrass killer don't have to germinate. *

So how good are these products 3 or 4 years after I bought them?

Thanks.


if it did break down, it would probably give off ammonia, and you'd
definitely notice it.
