Fertilizer doesn't really go bad. I think it looks like a root problem. most likely some kind of rot on the roots due to stress or bad drainage at some time. I bet if you were to dig up that plant the roots wouldn't look right. You could put some systemic fungicide on that plant, like bonide systemic that will go though the plant and treat the roots too. The organic people here might have other ideas though.
