Hopefully, I will have your luck! I'm going to remove as much of the contaminated soil as possible this fall, add new soil, compost and manure. Read the article about "Diehard", Keith do you apply this as a soil drench? In early spring I will plant peas
in the area as the article suggested using as a bioassay before the tomatoes go in. If the peas show symptoms, I guess I will end up container gardening. Thank you for all of your input.
