Hi there,

Earlier this spring I planted some cucumber starts in a 6' by 3-foot plot
that apparently was overloaded with nitrogen.
After a few weeks in the sun they shriveled and died. I then dug out a "V"
section of the plot and replaced it with topsoil then
replanted some fresh starts. It looks like the new ones are starting to
burn
as well.

What can be done with this section?
Will I have to wait until the rain washes away the extra nitrogen before I
can plant anything?


I hope you didn't make a mistake our neighbor made one year by using a
fertilizer for lawns that contained a weed killer of some kind. It took
several plantings dying on them before it occurred to them to check the
bag........
