Martin I had picked up a tip from golf course managers in 
recommending 5 oz. of Dawn Ultra in a 3 gallon sprayer. I tried it 
and it didn't, just set it back. . Bill Shear recommended extra doses 
of lime. I'm trying that approach. Regular liming in spring and fall 
and an additional 2 in between... There is a product called Limestone 
F made by Cleary Chemical.(www.clearychemical.com). You can email 
them for a local source.  I have not tried it, but a friend pointed 
it out as he had purchased 2 gallons for greenhouse use. Other 
products like Physan 20 can be used and I have purchased it for the 
next try. Definitely they are all temporary fixes. Vince is right in 
raising PH, drainage etc.  

Next year I have to redo and raise bed levels in 4 beds.
