ROOTS BEFORE REMEDIES
Record the pattern.
Let evidence guide the next step.
Written for home gardeners dealing with declining shrubs, vegetables, or flowers. The guide offers an observation process that can also help small landscape crews keep clearer records between visits.
- Record affected plants, timing, recent changes, and photos.
- Check moisture, drainage, compaction, and accessible roots.
- Separate direct pest evidence from symptoms and uncertain signs.
- Compare fresh damage with old marks over time.
- Connect observations to a response and a reassessment date.
The guide does not identify every cause from one inspection or guarantee fewer callbacks. It explains when uncertainty should remain open and when local expert review may help.
