How long does it stay If it is sealed? I've got a couple 5 gallon food safe buckets with very tight lids
I bet you'd be good for 6-12 months... more if you put in some oxygen grabbing pouches.

Alright sounds good to me
I think it's good until it starts smelling funky....

Yep I had a bag that started smelling funky. So out to the trash it went
I don't know where in Virginia you are located but if you are close to Colonial Beach I can give you some instead of buying a 25 pound bag. I have plenty and willing to share.
I routinely purchase 25# bags & store about 1/2 the quantity in rubbermaid type containers. I fill them up, seal the lid. Last ‘til i need. im sure you could just seal in large gallon ziploc bags - out of the sun & out of heat/humidity. Mine have never smelled funky.

Alright sounds good to me. I will just buy a 25 pound bag since they aren't super pricey
Sounds good to me. I have a couple 5 gallon food safe buckets with twist safe lids I think I will just store it in there
I wish we were closer because I would take you up on that offer
I believe there is an expiration date on the tag or somewhere on the bag. I believe it's good for about a year. I keep mine in a large plastic container that seals with a rubber seal. First bag I bought I left in the bag and notice, after some time I seen little bugs in the bag. Have not seen any bugs since I started using the plastic container.

Yep. A nice high quality sealed container.
(If it's a cheap one, I've had Mazuri go stale and I've seen moths fly out of it.)
And yes. You can freeze it in big ZIP LOCK freezer bags also.
I've kept it successfully for over a year both ways.
I save the empty mazuri bags because they are good for putting banana trees in for people that I give them to that are not able to get in the ground right away. So I checked to see about the expiration date on them. What I found was some are not marked, some have experation dates, and some have both manufactured date and expectation date. The last 3 I got had no information on them. I've never had bugs or any fungus in a bag of mazuri and I leave it in the original bag.
