Kim, Do you have a pH meter?

Any or all of a number of things could be going on. The soil in that spot could be highly acidic or highly alkaline. It's surprising how quickly soil pH can change from one spot to another. Very high or very low pH will keep the plant from taking up the micro-nutrients even if they are present in the soil. For that soil, in that spot, "compost...manure..the recipe..foliar feeding..epsom salt" could be overkill, but you can't tell unless you are able to check the soil's pH. A pH meter can be purchased at most nurseries or ordered on line. It doesn't look like nitrogen deficiency because the entire surface of the leaves are yellowing out. But then again if the soil pH is way off, with all the nitrogen sources you have given it, it could be that the plant can't take up the available nitrogen. Ideally, the soil pH for Brugs should be between 6.5 and 7.0. This allows the plant to maximize nutrient uptake.

If it remains as it is, once it runs out of chlorophyll or if it can't produce any, as is obvious, it will die. If you can't get a pH meter to test the soil around that plant, try digging it out, washing all the old soil off and planting it in a different location. The sooner, the better.
