Scenario: Your bed is full planted, fully mulched, weeded and irrigation is in place. Your plants are yellowing and beginning to droop.
What do you check for to address this problem?
1. Check if the irrigation is on- the turnoff valve should be parallel with the line
2. Check the soil- if the soil is dry and compact this could be a water and nutrient deficiency issue
3. Nutrient Deficiency- If the bed was not properly prepared for planting, the soil might be in need of more nutrients. Use powder fertilizer or liquid fish
