Re: Maxicrop on sale

That's good advice, Kitty--or, at least, it agrees with my MG notes. I think we've been conditioned to buy products on some sort of false notion that efficacy is always finite, maybe even for a lump of coal. I often wonder how much of our Gross Domestic Product is simply poured down the drain because some arbitrary and irrelevant date has passed.

It's always been my impression (and confirmed by our MG CES Horticulture

shelf life of 2-3 yrs. My assumption has been that that time usually
starts after you open the product. However, I suppose if it sat for
years before breaking the seal, its effectiveness could diminish a bit,
but I doubt GA! would let it sit too long. They are probably offering it
at a discount to keep the product moving while still effective. If you
bought it from a little mom/pop hardware store that was going out of
business after 39 years, I might question the age of the product.

I am always afraid to purchase stuff at the end of the season for fear
that it will not be as effective in the spring. Not necessary this
product, but talking generally. I also realize Pam gardens all year, so
her situation and mine are not the same...


thoughts anyone?
