Question
I think I have some sort of soil disease in a section of my garden. I had a Walking Iris planted and it just fell over and died after a few weeks. I planted a new one and it is doing the same thing. I looked at the bottom of the plant and there is white fuzzy mold/fungus growing. When I pull up the leave that have fallen over and smell them they smell like fungus. I also have a grounf orchid growing near this location in the garden that is doing poorly also. Is the soil all bad? Is there something that I can put down to treat this area?
