Liquid fertilizer

[alexdg]

Hello, since I'm quiet sure a wide range of people using liquid fertilizer with S/H. I figured I'd ask my question here.

How long can you store liquid fertilizer that has been mixed with water?

Can this be used anytime or am I better off remixing a new batch?

Most fertilizer components are inorganic mineral salts, with the exception in many being Fe-EDTA, but that's a very stable organic complex.

Assuming the pH is proper (i.e., not thrown off by the water supply), you keep it well sealed between uses to prevent evaporation of the water, and you shake it well before each use, it should be good for a very long time.

Good to know...thanks Ray!
