Bagged Soil

12 years ago

I'm wondering, if I buy more bags of soil from Home Depot, and keep them in storage until planting next year, would that be considered not so hot a thing to do?

I wouldn't think soil can go bad, but I know almost everything has a half-life and I'm not sure if certain things can go stale during that time.

On a side-note, I did purchase and open a bag of soil and noticed many worms and other bugs in it when I spread it around the garden bed. I didn't think much of it at the time, but a friend of mine was telling me how bagged soil should be somewhat sterilized and that what I bought should not have been acceptable (not that I was complaining).
