    My broadbeans in containers were doing really well and starting to develope nice pods but I tried to be clever and help them out about 3 days ago by giving them a tomato fertilizer feed. I used the correct measurements but now I noticed my leaves are starting to wilt. Is there any thing I can do to help ?

    I'd give em a good soak, they might not have liked the Nitrogen part of the feed.

      Cor, most excellent CH :dbgrtmb:

      My advice usually results in "Oi, Zig, you killed my plants"
