What kind of soil did you use in the Earthbox, and did you apply a soybean inoculant to the seed when the edamames were planted? Did they take well to being transplanted, or is that when the problems started? If it's only one or two of the older leaves that are affected I wouldn't worry too much. Keep an eye on them, check the moisture levels, and hopefully the plans will do better as the weather warms.

They don't seem to be thriving so far, however, and I'm a little worried. The Earthbox pretty much guarantees a regulated soil moisture level, but the leaves seem to be getting brittle. The temperature here in N. California has dipped down to 49 deg or so a few nights since I transplanted them, but I'd read they're not too fussy about cold. Any thoughts?
