    I picked up 4 bags of Throw and Grow yesterday at wal-mart on clearance. I've used grass seed left over from one year to the next, will this stuff be ok until spring?

    I have quite a bit of seed in airtight 55 gallon plastic drums. It should keep as long as you keep the moisture out.

    There will be a small label on them somewhere, telling you when the innoculent will expire. Based on normal production, I would guess that as July-Sept of 2013.

    I also do buy seed when winter and it seem that you also see that season for seed price was really low.
