Long shot - but was anything used on the flower bed to kill of unwanted
vegetation?

Nothing toxic, and the new turf took so well.

also affecting our brick circle inlaid with turf. This was so healthy in the
summer and autumn.

I feel it must be warterlogging, yet never had a problem in the old house
thats only 45 yards away.

Thanks for your help
