Please use at least 3 sentences to explain why you’d like to be a mod and share what moderation experience you have (if any).

Comments from those making repeated asks to adopt communities or that are off topic will be removed. 

Ok so I got them under control early-mid summer trimming them way back and cutting my watering back (I’m a noobie gardener). Now fast forward and we have had our first week of on and off rain and poor the black spots are back! And it seems like it’s always around half way up or the top where it’s coming back.

Any tips I can do to keep my sanity I would appreciate it! I have read to add 2-3 inches of mulch so I’ll start with that also.
