I was cleaning out the carport yesterday and discoverd some old products and wonder how long they are effective? I found a full gallon of molassas and a half quart of Garrett Juice. These products are at least 2 years old and while they have been in a closet of the carport the temperature swings between summer and winter are obvious. Can I still use these products or will they be ineffective?

They are still good. You may have to screen out the clumps in the product. The Garrett Juice will be more effective if you aerate it (clumps & all).

KHWOZ is absolutely coorect.

Keep in mind in a good sustainable gardening system, there is a big difference between natural fertilizers and biostimulants:

Natural fertilizers like fish emulsion, seaweed extract, stale unbrewed anaerobic Garrett juice, old manure tea, etc., can be very old and effective, if dilulted and used moderately. They are anaerobic substances. They don't have healthy aerobic beneficial organisms living in them. They are designed to mainly feed the crops available nutrients for crops to uptake. It is better to use any anaerobic old tea or liquid application only as a diluted soil drench, rather than as a foliar spray application.

Biostimulants are designed to either feed beneficial aerobic organisms after application on the crops' foliage or near the root system in the rich humus and topsoil. Or they are designed to breed the aerobic microbes in the biostimulant liquid during its brewing cycle before application to crops and/or topsoils.

Examples of good biostimulants are aerobic compost tea recipes, dry or liquid molasses products or teas, etc.

The more aerobic a biostimulant liquid is, the safer and healthier it can be used as both a foliar and soil drench application.

Happy Gardening!
