did some research. definitely over fertilizing! when using a liquid fertilizer outside, once every 3-4 weeks.

also likes rich well drained soil, keep moist. i think the manure in my mix is making the mixture too dense. i thought the rich soil also indicated the need for a lot of fertilizer.

still think the carrot rust fly is what is causing 1 plant to just collapse and die. if it was the fertilizer/water then all should die basically at the same time not staggered over time.
