Ol? Sean,

You and Eric always seem to butt heads a little on the diagnosis, nice to have another opinion though and could be a combination of the two factors.
Trace elements? What are we talking here? Could this be the cause of the yellowing leaves also?
I take it these are not found in the universal all purpose fertiliser (little blue balls)that I am using, and I can't get the fish emulsion or seaweed extract, so what do I look for? Some sort of compost?
Should I cut the dead bit off just above where it changes colour?
Cheers
