I'd say that you are already on the right track,you might want to try two leaders instead of one,and see how that works. Also you need good tilth in your soil, lighten it up so that the roots can spread out over a larger area,in order to get all the nutrients that are available.
Even moisture level is essential as well.
Watch for that fused blossom,and only set a large one,and then if something better shows up,don't be afraid to remove the smaller one or ones,I tend to wait till they are a pound or more before I remove everything else, it seems like if they are going to get BER, that they will get it before they reach a pound,not always but generally speaking.
