Fertilizer storage and longevity
Hi, am have searched a for information on what occurs chemically to
NPK fertilizer over time. If I buy 3-4 50# bags of fertilizer and use one bag a year, will the critical chemical compounds degrade, outgas, or change? Thanks in advance, |

Thanks in advance, Provided they are kept quite dry I wouldn't expect there to be any change at all. If wetted all manner of things could happen. David |

Thanks in advance, Why are you buying three or four years' worth of fertiliser all at once? If I were worried about needing a supply that far into the future, then I would be inclined to start doing "humanure" composting immediately. Although my main disincentive at the moment is just space and privacy issues. -- Earn Money With Your Web Site http://www.WebSponsorZone.Net Web Site Advertising Directory |

Thanks in advance, Kept dry they should present no problems but may go lumpy and the sack may also degrade and burst when you try to lift. Store them in a plastic trash bag. A soil test will insure you get the best use of it as well. |
