yeah I think my only hope is to transplant into better soil. Have you guys ever done that? I guess I'll just be real careful with the roots and the crappy soil will still be immediately around the rootball, but the roots could grow into the better soil after the process is done. Is that a plan?

Also I purposely avoided including the whole plant in the pic because it would throw off this current issue. The dead leaves you see below are from a corrected over-fert problem that existed before this fiasco with earthgro.
