Potting Soil – Longevity
Q: I have some unopened two-year old bags of potting soil under my deck. Do you think the products are still good?
A: If the material is still dry inside the bags I think it would be fine to use in your pots. If the soil has gotten wet, use it as a soil amendment when you plant flower beds.
