That's a tough one. If you overfertilized, you are going to want to flush the soil very well, but if you overwatered, you obviously don't want to continue the abuse. If you are sure that you overdid the fertilizer, go ahead and flush the soil really well.

What gives you the idea that you overfertilized? What did you fertilize with at first and what did you amend the soil with before you planted the garden?

i amended the soil somewhat with organic cow manure bagged, also another bagged organic compost type thing. its a new planting area, i also added some coffee grounds to the surface of the soil the only thing ive fertilized with is seaweed/fish liquid every couple of weeks or so diluted.although the plants are growing they are "stunted" and not producing much, altho they are blooming a setting some fruit. thanks for your response, i know ive seen other posta for yellowing leaves on peppers so i hope eveyone didnt just groan when they saw another one!

I have come across some liquid BONE MEAL at a local feed store and i was curious if any one had used this on peppers or any other plantings? I had posted on another thread on this board that i may have over fertilized some plants or over watered some plants causing proplems with yellowing and lost leaves and stunted growth due to what i guess are damaged root systems. I as just thinking althought it is late in the growing seqson here, i might try an application of the liquid bone meal to see if that would make a difference in helping the plants recover. What do you all think???
