Urgent! Need help

Posted by evelynguo IN (My Page) on

Hi!
I really appreciated your help. I bought my house 6 years ago. The soil is clay type. I planted tomatoes, cucumber, beans, and peppers. It was fine for the first several years. Start from 3 year before, the plant grow really slow, and the edge of leaf turn yellow. The bigger plant is ok. However, if I just put the plant in when it is really small, most of them are died. I put manual, pet moss, top soil and balanced fertilizer in. I also put miracle grow in. It seems don't work.

This year, the same things happened. My plants are dying. Please help. Please let me know how I can check my soil and determine what's wrong.

Thank you so much!!

Evelyn

contact your local extentions office or college with a horticulture/botany program. they should be able to test the soil or tell you who can.

If you have been adding many supplements to the soil without having checked the soil pH first, that is a big mistake. Excessive additives and fertilizers can throw everything out of whack and cause nutrient lock up.

Also rotate your crops

Just the pH?
