I have a gallon of liquid potassium that has been stored in my shed for 2 years. Do you think it is still usable after being stored that long? Or has it lost its punch?

Thanks for responding. I had a few answers in the Chat room but no one was sure. I was a little impatient on finding out over the weekend and had to wait til monday to call but forgot to. I did call Agro K today and found out that the potassium and Vigor Cal is good for 5 years as long as it is not sitting out in the sunlight and that it does not freeze.

the containers had no expiration dates on them.

I think I heard that liquid potassium is potassium carbonate. Should get potassium and CO2 given off.

i remember someone telling me that applying potassium would cause the fruit to ripen early or something like that. and the 1 time i applied 0-0-60 somthin ...(rookie year) to a kin it shut that thing down real quick! and i only gave it a little bit ...like 1 lb i think to the whole plant ( thinking that potassium would make this pumpkin gain so much weight!!!) by no means am i trying to spook you just be carefull and do your homework before application and i hope it works for you..best of luck!!
