these spikes dissolved very slowly. I tilled soil and found remnants of these spikes 1 and even 2 years after I put them in the ground. So they cannot be doing a very good job of fertilizing. Am switching to a different brand.

I buy a package of these every year, the trees really like this product. I use a hammer to get them into the ground, which makes for easy installment.

These spikes are so easy to use—just insert them into the soil around the trees and shrubs, and they do the rest. No mess, no fuss!Since I started using them, I've noticed my trees and shrubs look much healthier, with more vibrant leaves and stronger growth. The slow-release formula ensures that the plants get the nutrients they need over time, and it's been great for both my evergreens and flowering shrubs.The box of 6 spikes is perfect for my small yard, and the 1.5 lb size provides great value. If you're looking for an easy, low-maintenance way to keep your trees and shrubs nourished and thriving, I highly recommend The Old Farmer's Almanac Fertilizer Spikes!

I was wondering about actually pounding these into our undisturbed soil. I have to admit, they took a beating but still pounded in without crumbling, even when I had to pull one out because I'd found a rock down below. I tried a different spot with the same spike and it held together. Now we wait for the growing season to see how the trees respond. Fingers crossed!

I have a memorial crape myrtle that I planted in the corner of the backyard in 2020 when my first and best pup passed away from old age. I wanted something there to honor his memory. I went to the nursery and all their trees were white or lavender, but they had just one in Tuscarora pink. However, it was already struggling - outgrowing its bucket and underwater, I think. It wasn't in too bad of shape. I thought it just needed its own dirt and water. Little did it know, its struggle wasn't over yet. It was planted in the late summer - maybe not in the best place. The back corner of our lot slopes down into a creekside plateau, so it probably didn't get all the water it wanted. Snowpocalypse came and killed it - at least what was above ground. I thought I was going to have to replace it, but lo and behold there were new shoots from the base in the spring. I should really call it the Lazarus tree. This summer has been its best summer, despite nearly 2 months of triple digit days. I put my hose on a timer and found these Farmer's almanac tree and shrub fertilizer spikes mentioned in a reddit forum I think. I thought WTH, I'll give them a shot - anything would be better than nothing. And man, I wasn't wrong. The instructions said to insert them in the spring and fall, but I put a couple in the ground at the beginning of July. My little struggling tree/bush has gained in height and has BLOOMED in the way crape myrtles are supposed to.If you're doing some landscaping or trying to save a struggling tree or bush on your property, I highly recommend the Farmer's Almanac Tree and Shrub Fertilizer Spikes. If you can't take my word for it, take the Farmer's Almanac, it's been around for over 100 years.

My dogs went crazy over them and got sick. They need a cover, or a warning. My dogs started digging around 3 or 4 of them (I installed 24).Trees are doing great but I'd suggest placing a brick or something over them and install them deep when your dogs are not watching.And my mallet took a beating, don't use a rubber mallet, use a plastic 5lbs mallet.
