Expired Milk

I heard that milk does the tree good. If the milk is expired does it still does the tree good too?

I don't really know. Try it and let us know what happens. I don't think it would hurt the plant..

Milk expires when bacteria begin to grow and multiply in large numbers in it. This, if ingested, can have toxic effects on people. I do not know if this holds true for plants, but I would first test this on a 'sacrificable' plant, because the introduction of forgein bacteria into a plants medium may rot the plants roots (and make it smell like rotting milk!).
