All good points, my problem is that I do not know what they are growing
in (and they are too large to consider repotting) they are not looking
that brilliant because they have been out doors with no care or attention
for at least 10 years and were found under a large montana clematis when
it was cut down, so I am keen to get them back into leaf all over and to
make the leaves I have got green all over instead of green with yellow
patches! Once I have got them growing I can prune them back to some sort
of sensible shape.


A reasonable strategy, provided that you are sure that the current
soil/compost isn't the problem! If it has become compacted or
clogged, that would need dealing with first.


I've got trained worms doing that for me.
