Default Complete Novice and my garden is dying

I have an open mind about some 'Landscape Gardeners'. One lives near
me and is always busy grasscutting, rotovating, laying patios, fencing
and the like. He admired my dahlias in the front garden and confessed
that he'd never been able to get them to grow. Well, growing dahlias
is hardly rocket science! In fact, as long as you keep them fed and
watered, it's quite hard for them not to grow.


Well mine are growing and I just gave them plenty of manure, stuck them
in the ground and have kept them watered. There are green shoots
powering their way through the ground. The more complicated bits come
later but so far, so good.
