I'm clearing the garden stuff out of the garage to my new shed so I can build a workshop in the garage to make trains!

I've come across Roundup, Miracle Grow, 7, and other chemicals that would make a toxic stew and probably not healthy left in garage.

Now the question:

Can I store them in the shed all winter? It likely will get below freezing in there, although I doubt lower than 20 degrees F.

I didn't see any warning on the bottles not to.

Thanks

Oh, and what about grass seed in the shed?

Thanks

I just went to the miracle grow site to find out more about the storage of liquid and crystalline stuff. Their website was too hard to navigate so I called.

The nice lady told me that the info on the label about storing the chemicals in the shed outside was mainly b/c of manufacturer concerns about the bottle splitting in below freezing conditions and that the low temperatures would not affect the chemicals themselves, either liquid or crystalline form.

Now that has me wondering whether labels are intended to warn against chemical changes or damage to the bottles since they don't specify which!
