Does organic granular fertilizer expire or go bad?
Comments (4)You're fine despite breaking that rule. In fact the blue gray mold is a very beneficial fungus, so you sort of have a head start on the goodness. Apparently your bag got too moist to allow that stuff to bloom like that. If you collect coffee from Starbucks and let it sit, that will develop the same fungus. Just break it up and use it. The other answer is that organic fertilizers do decay and they do get infested with bugs, but neither condition would rule out using them. To minimize bugs, use up all you have by Thanksgiving.

Comments (1)What any insecticide will do to a garden and the environment depends on how much is applied and for how long. Imidacloprid mimics nicotine and is a systemic that is moved by plants to all parts and has been seen to be harmful to beneficial insects as well as the pests. Our pollinators are adversely affected by this poison as well as many of the predators that might help control this pest. Because of the quick life cycle of the Chilli Thrip it is not recommended to stay with any one insecticide but to rotate among several. Since the Chilli Throp lives it entire life on the plant would Floating Row Covers be an effective barrier to them? kimmq is kimmsr...See MoreRelated Professionals
