I plan on using three at a time for my planter. Does the bag reseal? How do I store the ones I am not using, and how long will they last?

Like others have said, these come in a heavy ziplock bag. Mine lasted through about 3 seasons and I stored the unused ones in a cool, dark place. I live in Alaska, so that wasn't hard. They seem to hold their moisture well, but shrink considerably if allowed to dry out, which I avoid. My neighbor bought some and they started to mold and then crumble and fall apart after a year or so. I'm guessing she didn't keep them in a cool enough place. So, I'd say with proper care they should last as long as 4 seasons. They do work very well and I assume it is because they don't dry out quickly. Also, I use a gallon ziplock as a mini-greenhouse and just blow a breath (CO2) into the bag once a day or so. Like others have said, these come in a heavy ziplock bag.

It comes in a Ziploc type bag. But I would recommend storing them in an airtight dark place, like an old coffee can or something. If they dry out just refresh them with water before use, the nutrients will stay in there. I used mine over the course of 6 months, they continued to work wonders.

My bag was resealable. I store them with the rest of my gardening supplies and I still have a few left after buying them a couple years ago. Just let them soak in water a while and they're good as the day you bought them.

I used this product for my first grow came n 2 bags one resealable but check out sure to grow it's where I'm going to go next

My package was not resealable. My experience with this kind of foam rooting plug (but not Rapid Rooter per se) is that if they dry out, they cannot easily be re hydrated so I am careful to keep these moist in an airtight container.

The bag has a ziploc seal, but they stapled their cardboard sign to the bag so it has holes in it. I had to store them in another bag. The last bag I had lasted three years. Same as you 2 or 3 at a time. Even if they dry up, just put some water on them and they will still work .

No. The bags are biodegradable (compostable) so they cannot be re-used. Mine last about a week if I'm careful not to put too much wet stuff in the bin. Longer than that and the bags start to degrade and leak. Shelf life, however, seems to be quite good. They begin to break down only after being in contact with organics.

You can store them in your cabinet since they have no liquid in them. keep them sealed and out of sunlight and moisture. I buy several bags at once and they stay fresh for many months. 1 bag I kept for a year and it was still potent. How I know that is because when I started taking it gave me very vivid dreams and the 1 year old stuff did the same for me.

I used the rolls for a while, but found them too wide. Since I reuse the bags, carefully cutting off the sealed portion and washing out the bags and letting them air dry, the larger the bag the better for me. I have used some bags four or five times each. The smaller bags can be reused also, but what you store in them has to also be smaller and smaller items. So, take your pick! (My machine is an old one, and not as convenient for use on rolls, BTW.)

My experience has been for short term storage it would be okay, but I don't believe the bags are completely airtight. I have had crackers and other things go stale when stored for long periods of time which tells me some moisture migrates through the plastic.

Rebecca, I would say this: If you're not planning to use them this year, you can prepare them for storage by using the methods you'll find on sites like Emergency Essentials (or similar others). They have the kind of supplies needed -- sealed bags, pails, etc.. They will preserve seeds & grains for at least several years. Always good to have some on hand. Good for you!!

I re-wrapped (in zippered plastic bags x 2) my package and kept for several months (not much used at one time). Hope this helps!

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the general approach used with most bulbs will not hurt: Store them in a cool, dark place. Do NOT store them in a sealed plastic bag because that can engender rot. A mesh bag works best. If you can't find one of those, punch holes in a plastic bag.Curiously, I "lifted" a large number of oxalis "rhizomes" last fall. Many did not survive--although many did. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but they were stored in a cool, dry location in "ventilated" storage containers.

I used mine 3 times. I used it till it kind of fell apart. I put it back in the plastic container and tried to seal it up with wrapping . I got 3 uses out of it. I might have gotten more if I had sealed it better. Wish it had a resealable package. A large sized zip lock bag might work but I didn't have one handy when I opened mine.

I keep them in the ziplock bag they came in just make sure that it stays sealed. It wouldn't hurt to throw onther bag over the first one, the big thing is to make sure they do not dry out

The bags are not made to be resealed. I put my product into food grade 5 gallon buckets with lids. I suppose you could roll the bag down to the product and use something like a potato chip bag clamp, only of larger size to hold it

i use saran wrap or zip lock bags, the saran wrap did better. the shelf life can be fairly short i have found (some of them dried up after 3 months.)

just seal the bag or put the remaining casing in salt for later use. i only tried storing the casing in salt for 1 year, but i believe it could be much longer.

Hi Miriam, Great question Thank You for asking. We recommend that if not immediately used after 24 hours to take your fresh herbs out of the mesh bag and store them properly. The best way to store these after the market, (particularly parsley, cilantro, oregano, sage, marjoram, basil, rosemary, tarragon, mint, and chives) is to store them upright in a little cup of water. This idea also works for asparagus just don't forget to snip off a little bit of the bottom. Hope this helps =)

I have stored them just like how they come and have had no problems. If they do dry out a bit you can rehydrate them with a little soak. I stored mine in the cupboard. Happy gardening!

You would have to empty spent contents (I used in flower beds) then fill with your own grounds then there are little stickers you can buy in Amazon that re-seals. It's really not that convenient.

I usually buy two boxes with 6 1-pound bags in each box. Once I open it, I do not keep it in the resealable bag. I store it in a air-tight container. I have had no issues with it even after 2 months.
