fertilizer
Can fertilizer go bad? I have an old box in my garage, must be 7-8 years
old? Probably not worth the risk hurting my plants but just wondering -- "Cheap work isn't good and good work isn't cheap" - (remove the "no-spam" for private replies) |

depending on the type, and if it is organic or chemical...... throw it
out in any case - safely! John wrote: Can fertilizer go bad? I have an old box in my garage, must be 7-8 years old? Probably not worth the risk hurting my plants but just wondering |

Probably not worth the risk hurting my plants but just wondering There's nothing in fertilizer to really spoil. If it was organic fertilizer, and it rotted, it would be a good thing. That would mean the bacteria broke down the material into a form that the plant could easily use. How many centuries has the bat guano been building up in the caves? If it was an inorganic fertilizer, nothing there to rot, how many millions of years do you think green sand has been buried in the ground? How many millions of years old is the natural gas they used to make nitrogen compounds? Some moisture might have gotten into the fertilizer, and made it clump up. Not a problem, just break it back into usable sizes with your hands. Sameer |
