    A bit of a daft question, but do you know ( think ) Tomorite has a shelf life? I found an unopened bottle of it under the sink that must be at least 10 years old. I can't see a BBD on the label, but I'm a bit wary of dosing my little darlin's with something that might not now be good for them. :what:

        I would think it would be fine. Plant foods like Tomorite are simple inorganic salts which I think would be pretty stable.
