Despite still being in the wrapper (bag, box, etc...), I guess fertilizer can go bad after a period of time if stored outside. I dunno, but good luck to you. Certainly won't hurt anything.

I think they worked great in peppers. Last year I had only 1 tomato in a 5-gallon bucket, but it thrived right up until frost got it in November. This year's cheap-o spikes appear to be working just fine. They dissolve and all that. Peppers are super deep green and very prolific. Peppers really like the extra K in these spikes. My tomatoes in small pots really greened up after getting spikes. No regrets on my purchase.
