Sick Peas :(

[godspeedsuckah]

What would cause the tips of the leaves to turn yellow then brown and die? I am thinking because I planted them too close together and possibly a fungus attack. I have not seen any thrips or cuc beetles on them. Any ideas? I had to pull them and start over again.

Sounds like nute burn, if its just the tip you will be ok, got any pics?

 

[godspeedsuckah]

Nope, don't use any nutes at all. With peas they naturally take nitrogen from the air and release it back into the soil. I think it could be a fungus from planting them to close together, but I am not sure.

Test that soil, the soil could have too many nutes IMO. Also check the pH if you can. I have so many right next to each other.

I will do that. They were doing great too, already about a foot tall and climbing the fences real well.

LOL, I wish it was there were about 100 plants.

I added hydrated lime, and composted manure. I am only going to plant 2 rows of peas and the rest beans now. I think I will plant them alot less congested so they don't suck the soil dry.
