Probably not, but you'll want to be careful with it. It'll cause any
iron/steel based components it touches to begin rusting rapidly. It probably
pulled moisture out of the humid air in the basement. Storing such salt
fertilizers can be tricky because of their affinity for water.

Subject: [Market-farming] Calcium Nitrate question

I had most of a bag of calcium nitrate that I put in a plastic tub for
storage last year. I opened it yesterday and it had liquified. Probably
because the tub was in the basement. Anyway, is the nitrate still there and
in the same quantity? Any problems with using it? Thanks for your help.
