Bought three 40 litre laurel hedging pots 11th June. Arrived 2 days later, looking very healthy & planted next day. Advice shortly afterwards was to water each plant every day for several weeks with a 2 gallon bucket of water - but no enquiry made re type of soil - whether clay or not. Ten days later when quite a few leaves had turned yellow, the advice was to stop watering for 2 or 3 days because they had probably been watered too much. I therefore watered less frequently. Yesterday, because some leaves continued to yellow, I asked for more advice. I was then asked to dig a hole near to the trench in which they were planted to see if any water drained from it, which it didn't - although some of the soil was damp. The soil adjacent to the plants was loamy even though the rest of our flower beds are predominantly clay, on which I presume the 3 plants are sitting . I was advised that the plants would seem to be short of water, but advised to start watering/ feeding them weekly, not daily, with the same capacity bucket. I have to admit that I am somewhat confused and will keep a very close watch on the plants, which despite some yellow leaves, look healthy in the main. All the advice I received was given extremely pleasantly.
