Despite what it may look likewhen it is wet, CaSO4.2H2O (gypsum) actually has fairly low solubility under normal conditions. It will break down eventually, if you are willing to wait decades.

Agreed, do not use it.

They may also be adding a little something to the gypsum as well that may not be good for the patch so unless you know that it is 100% gypsum I wouldn't use it.

Gypsum is pretty cheap , Some seeds are very expensive! I wouldn't chance it.

I looked at the MSDS sheets a while ago on it and didn't see anything overly worrisome. I peel the paper, throw it on and till it in...maybe i'd have a bigger fruit if i stopped, dunno;)
