ProMix Shelf Life

[frjeff]

I have used ProMix (cannot remember the specific type) for the past two Springs as my starter mix.
I still have a significant quantity left as I purchased a large bale.

Will this stuff still work this Spring and/or beyond? I have it stored in a huge plastic tub with lid.

I would think that it is fine. I usually buy my bales in the off-season, so by the time I get around to using it, it is at least a year old, but still sealed in the bag. I wouldn't think twice about using 2 year old Pro-Mix that has been sealed.

if it has myco, and has been exposed to high temps, the myco may not be alive anymore. but the soil is fine.

True. Might benefit from adding a myco product when you use it.

endomycorrhiza is the exact fungi you need for peppers, ecto is more for hardwood plants
