- The seedlings burned right after I fertilised
- Seedlings just came up, I dressed them, next day root tips were black.
- Burn at emergence and black root tips are a fertiliser burn, not hunger. Water to dilute. Don’t add another bag. On seedlings, better too little. If you use a soluble feed, dilute one step weaker than the label.
