I'm really liking the Down to Earth line. I've got a half dozen boxes of stuff that's lasted me through 4 soil cycles, about 50 gals each time, and I still have a couple cycles left in each of the ones i use large amounts of. The box of humic is gonna last me years. That's something like 9 months of soil amending for something like $150. I also use Espoma(?) products with them.
I was looking at organic soil amendments and see that a savings can be had by buying in bulk.

What is the shelf life on these type of products?
Does the packaging come with a use by date on them?

It may be a no brainier that rock dust and similar amendments will not go bad but what about items that may have microbial life it it?

There would be no savings in a 25 lb bag if a 4 lb bag will last me 2 years.

I can’t stand velveeta cheese in any form or on anything. It’s just so fucking fake and thick. And yeah you can shove velveeta Mac and cheese up your ass too. Because I’m not eating it.


Random, I know. But I just had to get that off my chest.

Back to your regularly scheduled fuckery.

I don’t recall seeing an expiration date on anything. But keep in mind that bat guano, earth worm casting, insect frass, and compost all have a shit ton of microbial life in them. So even in the unlikely event that one of them loses their microbes the others will take over. So no need to worry.

I was watching discovery channel and some show said that they think alien bacteria might have traveled light years to get here and spark life on earth. My point is, I wouldn’t worry about them dying off. Especially in dry form.

If you shove it up your ass, you might be mortoring your ass shut. When that cheese sets up, it’s hard as concrete

I never worried about expiration dates on amendments. I figure the living microbes are in the soil and this stuff is mostly inert, just food for those microbes. I don't stockpile composts or other "wet" components right now, I buy those as needed.

I'll tell you why I do not like Velveeta.

It's too much work.



Now THIS is the way to fly ... assuming of course some emo didn't suck the nitrous out of it in the store. A bottle that tests weak goes into the trash at once. I ain't catching emorrhea off that lipped nozzle.
