Interesting. I wonder... maybe I can bleach-treat those three holes where I pulled the dead plants and plant a few new ones in four weeks. I just started a few tomato plants for fall buckets and if I start a few more test plants to plant in the treated holes they'll be ready in four weeks. Can't hurt to try; all in the name of science, ya know.
