Default My Box knott garden is truning yellow

The message
from stuartforrest contains
these words:

I did hear on the radio about box blight but they said you would have
black spots on the leaves which we dont have. I have not seen any vine
weevils either.


You rarely see them. The adults are small, and a matt dark buff colour,
and the grubs eat the roots. You could carefully dig out one of the
worst plants and see if there are any little white grubs amongst the
roots.

Perhaps we should try removing the membrane fully and also the Iron
thing.


Can't hurt, so long as you follow the instructions on the packet.
