lovetogrowflowers I noticed the same on a open back when I fertilized last. As expensive it is...I just took it out...mixed it all up. Since the top was light and all the DARK was on bottom, put it back and then went ahead and fertilized with it. What do I have to loose? I skipped so many fertilizing days...IF the fertilizer is not as strong or for some reason gone...well so be it.

Since I figure that we have no more then 1 month with the brugs growing actively, I have stopped fertilizing them.

miracle grow is always slightly damp to the touch. leave the bag open for a couple days ( inside ) to dry it & use it. its also a pain to scoop out of the bag without spillage. i cut the miracle grow name off the box-top, glued it to a tupperware lid, & keep the miracle grow in a tupperware for spill-less usage.

Just stir it & use it, it will be fine.

If the pelleted fertilizer gets wet, it releases all the fertilizer at once (even though it is still in little balls) & can burn your plants & will not be good for the 6-9 months it usually says. Keep it dry until you use it & it releases a little bit at a time like it is supposed to.
