Desert carpet (Acacia redonlens)

 Hi All - I have a few desert carpet shrubs growing on two sides of my
front yard. One side is thriving - with beautiful yellow blooms right
now, while the other side, things appear to be going down hill. The
leaves are slowly turning yellow .. and eventually, the plant dies.

The two sides get equal amounts of sun (in the afternoon) and water.
I live in desert, with soil that has a distinctly clay-like consistency.

Would appreciate any advice on what could be causing this or what I
could try to save the plants.

I live in the Mohave desert, but do not have clay.

If the home in recently built or even in the last 10-? years; builder
laborers washed wheel borrows or dumped cement slurry on the ground.

You might check the soil Ph for the plant you are growing.

Greetings neighbor - I'm actually in the Sonoran Desert. The home was
built about 7 years ago and the plants were thriving since the last
three years.. I will definitely find out more info on the soil Ph.

Do you know of any good resources to find out more about Desert Carpets?
(acacia redonlens) - the google/yahoo searches come up with a lot of
useless junk.
