Message: [QUOTE="Beth_B, post: 61823, member: 2144"] Hmmm, not sure what type of bush that is; is it possible that daily watering (if that's what you're doing) is actually too much for them? Over-watering can also cause browning of leaves, root rot and general malaise. I am not familiar with gardening in drought conditions - wish I could send you guys some of our rain - but a general rule of thumb is infrequent, deep watering rather than frequent shallow watering. Deep watering encourages the roots to go, well, deep into the ground rather than near the surface. I don't see how added mulch could hurt, especially with your arid conditions. [/QUOTE]
