Old seed starting mix question

neoguy · May 9, 2009

I didn't weigh in much on the seed germination/crushed seed syndrome threads because I think I have another variable. I know for a fact that I have a problem with crushes seeds, but I also think I have a problem with my Pro-Mix seed starter mix.

In the winter of 2007 the local HD was selling out their inventory of Pro-Mix for half price. I thought I scored a little bit of gem and bought 4 bales.

Now, because of germination problems, only some of which can be attributed to crushed seeds, I'm thinking I spent my money foolishly. And, I still have two bales left.

Do seed starting mediums go bad, and why, those are my questions?
