Plants dying right after mulch laid... nitrogen robbing or?
Comments (24)Thank you for your interest. We are in the Chicago area. The plants most affected are Lady's Mantle and Salvia. After investigating further, we determined that the problem was that the mulch had been lying on the leaves for a few days and discolored those areas. Especially the Lady's Mantle with its large leaves. We were our of town when the work was done. Yesterday we were able to get out and work in the garden and figured it out. It was a sloppy effort by the crew that put down the mulch. We've had the garden mulched several times over the past few years and had never experienced this. Hoepfully the plants will recover quickly and there is no permanent damage. Thanks again....See MoreMint plant new leaves look pale + parts dried hydroponics indoor
Comments (8)Yes - most people on here just grow their herbs outside in the ground or containers. Mint is incredibly easy to grow that way and so probably none of us have ever had these problems. To me hydroponics always sounds like a way of making gardening as artificial, difficult and time consuming as possible but I realise that it's an absorbing hobby for some....See Morehelp!! do my new plants have wilt?!?!?!?!
Comments (1)maggie, i'm no expert, but last year i dug up BES from my sister-in-laws. they were nice when i dug them. when i replanted them - YUCK. i just left them alone and this year they are amazing. i was hoping for something wonderful last season, because of the plants i dug - full, healthy, ready to bloom. N O T ! this year, i replanted some cosmos. for weeks, it was sad and pathetic. it's now coming into it's own. we had weeks of rain and now the last week has been dry and hot, so i am assuming that is helping some of them. best of luck. happy blooms, maryanne...See Moreshould I give my plants nitrogen now?
Comments (4)Hi Chris, Ah, the soil amendment in pots is likely to be the "root" of your problems, the best you can do is muddle through and count it as a learning experience.
