Oh the joys of a new garden! So our other issue is with the coleus and ferns around our shaded water feature. The ferns are looking brown and hardly growing, and the Coleus have, or are losing their leaves :- ( Could this be because of too much water? Slugs? Something else?

Also, I'm thinking it might be good to plant some moss around the water feature. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
