[Arid_gardener] Cape Honeysuckles

[Jim Oravetz]

Hello Brian,
To better be able to assist you we need a little additional information.
You are watering twice a week for 1.5 hours. How many drippers on 
each plant? What flow are the drippers GHP?
Are they planted near a lawn area? If yes, has any weed and feed 
fertilizers been used on the lawn? If no and in a granite covered 
area, what products are used for weed control? Last application? Are 
the plants fed on a regular basis? With what?
Depending on the answers, I might have a few more questions.
