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........


I'm careful enough to keep the weed killer separate from the other garden
supplies.

The problem I'm sure was using ammonium phosphate via

Apparently there was even more phosphate damage judging from the cracked
bark on the sunny side of the avocado tree. The melon section had too much
as well though it looks that the vines have become acclimated and have begun
to grow.
