Soil, Mine, is Problematic...

...and one by one I'm putting my plants back in pots.
Wood vinegar, EM (essential micro-organisms), hydrogen peroxide, and various fertilizers have failed to keep my plants viable. I've lost 4 plants so far; these are mature plants, not seedlings. One Dorset Naga and 3 Caribbean Red Habaneros. Ouch!
I think insects did in my Dorset, but soil was a factor in the other 3. My Jalapenos are struggling, so I recently transplanted 2 back into pot's with a new dirt. My remaining 2 Reds are also back in pots, but for one it may be too late, we'll see. I'll wait until I see some results before digging up everything; that said, I'm not sure I have/see any other options.
Cheers and may the coming seasons find you all well.
