Looks to me like you've been fertilizing too much. |

What was your N number? I didn't see that listed... Here's what I would do- apply some sulphur Also add some iron- can be bought in the garden center. Find a product with some high levels of copper I personally would not add any more fertilizer or compost at all!!! |
