Hi,

I moved into a new house last year and had my garden landscaped and fully planted, I am trying to maintain it myself but my plants are starting to die off and I have no idea why, over the last two weeks I have lost 4 plants and two trees, the leaves on the plants are turning yelllow and dropping off, the buds on the trees are shrivelling up turning brown and dying.

On digging up both sides one part of the garden seems to have excess water which I suspect is part of the problem, we did have drainage put in but it doesn't seem to have eliminated the issue, this area is beside the house near a huge fir tree which is approx 60 feet high.

I have done some soil testing and the soil is clay alkaline and nitrogen depleted but thats all I know and know I'm stuck!

It is very distressing to see everything dying before my eyes and I would welcome any advice anyone can give me.

Thanks
