Hello
We purchased a house earlier this year with beautiful plants lovingly cared for by the previous owners. We have never had a garden so have been remiss in the care of this new one. We have these lovely shrubs which now looks like they're drying out and dying, we have been watering them but they don't look to be recovering. Any tips on how we can save them? Or should we call it and replace them?
Thank you!
It may be too late to save the shrubs but I would try and save them first. Prune them to encourage new growth and continue to water.
Add SeaSol with wetting agent when you water; SeaSol is not a fertilizer, it is a soil conditioner and helps root health.
Dry soil becomes quite hydrophobic and when it does the water runs off the surface and not into the soil, adding a wetting agent will reduce the surface tension, allow the water to permeate the soil and reach the roots.
