My local Lesco shut down over the winter and merged with a branch 1.5 hours away. So this year having to plan a near a half day traveling to get products, and I don't want to run short and have to be making that trip to purchase another XX amount of bags.

I have 6 bags of 18-0-10 w/ dimension left over. I was wondering if it would be good next spring if I held on to it? and so forth for other season particular fertilizers.

I know how much square footage I will be needing but, you always gain more customers and don't want to run short so I am planning on buying extra each trip to accommodate so but again just wondering if the products will still be good and/or any particular way to store them?

Should be fine, keep it dry, keep it from clumping up. Let er roll.

Just keep it inside/dry, and you should be good. Moisture is the enemy. If you can keep it out of the way to avoid handling it multiple times that will help as well... less torn bags, less dust, etc...

Humidity is your enemy. Be ready to jump up and down on the bags to break up the lumps. Be ready to filter it through wire mesh or a plastic laundry basket. Most fert bags have tiny holes along the left side. Holes let the air out so the bags stack on a pallet. But humidity gets in. Yuck!
