Top plant issues we see in Northwest Iowa –

Over Watering – Over watering can occur with any plant: trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals.  Over watering plants is one of the biggest issues we see as a company. When your plants don’t look healthy it is tempting to give them more water, but before you water, check the current soil moisture.  This can be done with a moisture tester or by using your finger.  Dig down a few inches into the soil near the root ball of the plant to check moisture before you water again.  This mistake is not easy to diagnose because in many instances too much water mimics the signs of too little water. Read this article for 6 Signs You Are Over Watering.
