I've had it. What am I doing wrong?

Bit of nitrogen in the spring/early summer for growth, then a bit of
potash mid/late summer to encourage the flower buds for next year.

good thinking - thanks

But remember to regularly water with Miracid or other chelating compound
unless you are already on acid soil, perhaps the pH is getting too high?

There's no yellowing of leaves (tho' a rhodo' 30ft away does get them
sometimes). I'm on London clay.
