'Cos if you go to a mushroom farm, you'll see big tonne bags of salt lying around.  Dunno what they use it for.

I got a bag last year and it sat in my garage for a year. I wasn't sure if it would still be okay, but i used some in my potato rows and in my peas.

Looks good stuff.

It is usually re-composted, then weathered before being bagged and sold.  You'll be fine.

It's great for any type of brassica 'cause they love the lime.
I also put it where I'm going to grow anything in the onion family.
Also good for mulching asparagus beds with - I think asparagus originated from seaside type plants so they appreciate the saltiness.
