old fertiliser

metalwood

Hi All

I have a couple of bags of 0.10.20 lying in the shed that didnt go out the year of the foot and mouth cull :eek:

Would it be any benefit to throw it out on some old grass?

Would there be any growing value left in it or would I be just wasting time and fuel?

Thanks

It should be grand even though its 10 yrs old unless its gotten wet or damaged. the chemical structure will not have moved if properly stored. funny I needed 5 ton of small bags 0-10-20 but they could be sourced last week, so had to use half ton bags which are a balls as they are being loaded into the maize drill which has 2 hoppers holding only 4 bags apiece.

ive nothing to lose then...........ill lash it out and see what happens
the bags are hard but stored dry......i might throw it into the cement mixer to see if it will break it down for spreading
