How long does liquid tomato food keep?
« on: July 26, 2012, 18:01 »
I have some in my shed that's at least two or three years old.  Will it still be OK to use?

Is there no date on the label?

Mine's still going strong and I've no idea how old it is.

Just make sure you shake it first.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I used some tomato feed last year that was at least two/three years old - did not do plants any harm.

I have never kept any more than a year I feed the flowers in the border with it begonias love it .
I also have a few tubs that are filled with plants that are upto ten years old so I use it all year round to keep them in tip top condition. The only plant I have found that you have to be careful with is pansies it doesn't mind the feed but you have to make sure you don't splash the leaves as it can scorch them.

Thanks everyone.  I used the stuff and all was well - until we got blight!  Better luck this year.

I find that I tent to use all mine up in fact two bottles by the end of the summer. I use it for everything. But tried wilko one and had half left from end of summer last year and then found it made the water go misty. Never again with wilko one.
Kind Regards
