How long can you keep extra lawn fertilizer around for? I have 1/2 a bag (the big bag) of winter fert left-over from last fall. Can I use that again this year? Or will it go bad?

It will be fine, unlike grass seed where the germination rate declines over time, dry fertilizer doesn't go bad. The only thing to worry about is keeping it away from water or excessive moisture, then the fertilizer might tend to clump together and be difficult to spread.

I've had fertilizer that was 3 years old and had no problems using it.

You're fine.

It won't go bad. The only thing that is possible (likely in a damp climate) is that it clumps up & won't go easily through the spreader.
