I managed to avoid BER this year, even with all the rain washing the nutrients out of the soil.
I had been watching a Japanese gardener on YouTube, and every time he prepped his beds he sprinkled what appeared to be Lime VERY liberally, so, I figured I'd do the same!
I sprinkled an extra heavy dose of my mixture below when I prepped the bed. It sure didn't hurt anything!

10 cups Lime
