Have just discovered some growmore in a plastic bag that has been hidden
away for years. It's very damp inside the bag and it has broken down into
blobs rather than granules.

Would it still have maintained its essential plant food qualities do you
think?
I can't say of the link below will answer you question, but have a look
at:-

A fair bit of reading.

All looks pretty stable - as long as you don't try heating it to dry it
out (Boom ! ) . Should be fine as plant food.

Thanks Bill, I looked at the website and it was pretty helpful. Like I said, my old bag of growmore didn't ruin my tomatoes, so I'm not so apprehensive about it any more.
