Weed and Feed Bag---How Old is Too Old? Login/Join 
Do---or do not.
There is no try.

I found a three-year-old bag of Scott's Weed n Feed in our garage. It's still sealed.

Is it still useable?

The N-P-K doesn't go bad and neither does the weed killer. Only issue if foresee is if the humidity got to it and it clumped so it wouldn't spread.

Only way to know is to open in, dump it in your spreader, and look for clumps

If it has a vinegar and metallic salty taste, it is still good...

I think it's fine provided it was kept dry.

I buy 16-16-16 in a one ton bag. This will last me 5 years of fertilizing my lawn. The bag is on a pallet and kept dry in my garage. I would guess it would last many years.

If I remember correctly Scotts told me the granular form will last indefinitely unless it contains a pesticide.

If it's clumped you can break it up. I'd wear some throw-away surgical gloves and break it up as you put it in the spreader.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I recommend a side order of sautéed Tide Pod and a vintage glass of Prestone 50/50% mix to bring out the hint of vinegar to the palate Big Grin

If it's not clumped up and you can fling it with your spreader...you are GTG Razz Razz Razz
