Default Apple and Kiwi

Hi, i have an issue with my apple and kiwi vine both planted 4 years ago
in heavy clay soil. they are around 3 metres apart from the nearest
branch. we had a Labrador dog who used the space between them as his
toilet.
the issue we have is many of the leaves have lost their colour and the
leaves have turned yellow. both were fine in the spring but have had
this issue during the summer. you can see the green veins on the leaves
but the rest is yellow. i found small black bugs on the underside of the
kiwi which i have sprayed.
runner beans are also growing in amongst the kiwi and they are fine. we
also have a grape vine and victoria plum which are also fine. i fed both
with bonemeal in the spring which hasn't been too wet (south west UK
near Bristol)
does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

Do a soil test!!!!!, it is 15$ or so here, The Shamanistas can conjure
up all kinds of "theory" but come on, can they really tell what your
soil conditons and the problem from your posting?

think that thru!

A soil test trumps organo feel good anytime!

its your soil!
