Assuming stored in an outdoor shed in PA, what do you suppose the shelf life of these products is:
- humic acid (dry powder) - Azos
thanks

Humic Acid is carbon based. It should be indefinite
AZOS is bacterial, I am sure it degrades based on time and conditions.

If it froze the Azos might be junk

Linus is correct the humic should be good for at least 10,000 years

Yep it froze for sure. But I would think a soil bacteria could withstand freeze cycles? But I guess better safe than sorry.

Bacteria should be able to withstand freezing but viability will more than likely drop. Unless they are isolated from such environments where temperatures rise and fall to such extremes on a regular basis there might be a possibility they can last extreme temperature changes outside their original habitat.

Like all living organisms, all aerobic bacteria and fungi need to respire to survive. They can also 'shut down' and form spores if they need to endure long periods without food and water. As Azos is supplied as a dry product, I'm guessing that the bacteria are supplied as spores, which in theory can survive for many years.
