Reading the Signs in Your Garden

Your garden is always showing you signs of its health - the problem is trying to decipher what it has to say!

I found a dead-patch in my lawn on the weekend and began freaking out as to why this was happening. Did I cut it too short when I mowed it last? Is there some bug (obviously from next-doors) that's started munching my urea-rich turf? Or, perhaps the kids have converted it to a high traffic area?

No. After careful inspection it was merely the patch was not getting watered by the reticulation. But, it could have been any of those problems so how do you know what to look for?

Tomorrow I'm going to start a series called 21 Signs of Garden Fatigue and it would be great to get your feedback from problems that you've had and how you've dealt with them as well.
