ABSTRACT:
A fertilizer spike is insertable into soil utilizing a tool having prongs. The fertilizer spike comprises a fertilizer body comprised of fertilizer material having a base end with an outer surface that converges toward a tip end, in which at least two channels are formed into the fertilizer body, for receiving the prongs of the tool. The fertilizer spike is also provided with a soil abutment surface that is adapted to hold the fertilizer spike in the soil when the tool is pulled away from the fertilizer spike. The prongs release the fertilizer spike as the tool is withdrawn.
