Price Increases Coming... Male
Default Price Increases Coming...

On Sunday, the USPS will be increasing the cost of shipping, and I have already eaten a couple of those plus adjustments to my purchase pricing, so I'm afraid that I have to make some adjustments.



That means that today (1/24) and before 8 am (EST) tomorrow (1/25 - so I can get it to the post office by 11 am) is the last opportunity to purchase KelpMax or K-Lite before those increases take effect.

Ray- what is the storage lifespan of the kelp max and the incocour? assuming kept in a dark, cool, indoor cabinet

(I am assuming the k-lite is almost indefinite as long as it is in pellet form, correct?)

Inocucor should be kept cool and dark, Refrigeration is good, freezing is not. The bottles come to me with a lot expiration date. The current stock is labeled 06/2021. Refrigeration will extend that a bit.

KelpMax is less temperature sensitive (no live microbes), but cool and dark is a good idea for that as well. Extended heat should be avoided (it supposedly degrades rapidly at 40C). The published shelf life at room temperature is 3 years (current stock was produced 6/19) but the producer has shown that after an additional year, samples have shown no degradation. I don’t put an expiration date on the labels as I sell a LOT of it, and anyone who has tried it uses it regularly, so it’s gone well before it could expire.

The issue with powdered fertilizers is moisture. It may change the color and consistency, but does little-to-nothing to degrade it. Moisture DOES make it difficult to measure by weight, as you don’t know just how much water is in it! Keep it well sealed and there’s no issue.

Yeah. Sorry. It's more driven by postage than anything, and we're now into shipping under the new rates.

Just don't order through Amazon, as I increased those prices even more, to compensate for their commissions.
