I had a massive failure with some organic snow peas.  They appear to have been overcome by Fusarium wilt.  Had these in containers.  "Soil" was "organic" from a big chain store: the only real option that I had at the time (this activity is taking place at someone else's place, not mine, not to mention another country!).
