Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my first time using these spikes, and first time using any product from Jobe's. I don't have a very big garden, just a few plants: tomato, bell pepper, green bean, sugar pea, yellow squash and carrots. One package of 50 spikes was the perfect size to use for the first time, which was good because the package says to use them soon after opening. They are neat little bullet shaped spikes and held their shape/didn't get mushy through the humidity before inserting them into the ground. They're really easy to use, all you have to do it pop them into the soil. I initially punched a hole in the ground for them with a tent spike but found that it wasn't necessary, and I could easily insert them on their own. I've only heard good things and good results with these and am hoping for good veggies. The price is great and definitely worth giving a shot. My only concern with them is related to my two dogs. I read that they are pet safe, and that was part of my decision in purchasing. The bag says to keep out of reach of children and pets. As a precaution and to keep the dogs from walking on my garden, I put up a short plastic, white picket fence that is enough to keep them out every year. The day after adding the spikes, I found that the dogs went into my garden and dug up the spikes. I didn't actually see them eating anything, I could only see the holes they dug, which were exactly where I put the spikes. I got the empty bag out of the trash to see of they had interest in it and they both came running over to me, licking their lips and staring at the empty bag. So I can basically only assume that the dogs find them to be delicious. Thankfully I haven't noticed any symptoms or problems and to be fair, these dogs aren't new to getting in trouble. I just feel it's important to mention it so others can take precautions with their furbabies.
