Question arose as to whether it is best to fertilize in Fall or Spring.
Have some old unused bags of fertilizer, so will the nitrogen,
phosphorus potassium keep over winter or does their value dimish with
time sitting in the bag?

I remember some farm report saying that unused fertilizer in the ground,
if not used one season will carryover into the next season, but was that
with all three of those fertilizer components?

I have a stranger problem concerning fertilizer. I'm a keen gardener and was
given a large sack of farm fertilizer by someone who was clearing out his
shed. Usually fertilizer is NPK in varying proportions; this bag was marked
"PK Fertilizer"; unfortunately everything I put it on dies. "PK" to me
suggests Phophorus and Potassium with no Nitrogen, and suitable for use in
the flowering/fruiting season to persuade vegetables to ripen.

Is there some other category perhaps? It's a pinkish crystalline grit which
looks just like National Growmore.

Thank you

BGGS.

So you don't know how old it is or what it might be contaminated with.

unfortunately everything I put it on dies.

Do the obvious. Throw it out.
