Don't beat yourself up - you were wise enough to come to Tomatoville! There are so many wonderful, experienced people here who are so generous with their time and expertise (as you're seeing now). Stick with it and you'll do great.

Thanks everyone for the help. I soaked them down and I'll give them a nice drench of a Kelp/fish emulsion and hopefully they will recover. I'm glad I found this forum!

The most dangerous content of rubber mulch to plants is the high zinc content.
