Fertiliser Problems

[Noahs ark6]

Hi

I bought 1 litre of TNC fertiliser about 4 months ago. I'm using it quite slowly.
Today I noticed that theres quite alot of white stuff forming at the bottom. It smells like lemon/lime sherbet Also, when i shake it quite violently (to see if it dissolved) it forms quite alot of bubbles that sit on the surface for about a minute.
Does anyone know what this is and if it's still safe to use?
thanks.

It's the salts that make up the fertiliser. Just give it a shake before use and it will be fine.

Fantastic, thankyou.

WHen i shake it they don't go though. Is this normal?

But when you dose it will be mixed up rather than sat on the bottom of the container. I have had this before when mixing my own. The first time i used cold water, had the same issue as you, the second time i used warm water and it is just clear now.

It can happen when a bottle gets cold and also if the volume drops at a different rate to the salts either through evaporation or use.
As said above give it a good shake before use

That's the scientific answer. Lol.
