Garedns: how come the empty house next door has a healthy garden...?

But mine is dying and pathetic and lifeless?



Theirs is full of flowers and creepers that are brilliant greens, healthy and vibrant, mine, I water every day, give plant food and take care is wilting and browning and dying! Do I care too much? If I water them or if I don't, it's the same result, I don't have green fingers I have POISONED fingers!!! it drives me nuts!



(I'm in a tropical environment, yes my plants are tropical and in other's houses flourish with vigour, but mine? PAH! I'm well sick I tell you) :-(

I'm guessing only-- but compost does wonders for years-- so that's my opinion.....

You might be over fertalizing-- or over watering but you would have symptoms like yellowing leaves--

good luck
Reply:Check the depth of your watering-- water as usual and make a hole in the earth where you watered- see how deep the moisture goes, then talk with a master gardner. Generally, a deep watering several days apart is much better. Of course, your climate makes a difference. keep trying! good luck Report It
Reply:one of the problems could be the soil that your using , the neighboring house could have very nutrient rich soil and beneficial bugs , it could also be the location of your house and the other , if it is across the street and it has more shade and yours is the one in full sun it could be that yours are the ones that are not sun loving.

you may also not be using a good plant food or too much of it if anything , read the directions on the bottle , water it down if need be , or discontinue usage.
