Help all my flowers and shrubs are dying :(?

I just moved into a new house with two flower beds in front. The large one had what I assume was top soil in it, it didn't look all that bad so I added some compost to it and planted away. However the other smaller flower bed was full of clay and poor soil. I replaced the clay with top soil and compost. the smaller flower bed has a sprinkler head and the larger bed is watered by me in the morning. I planted bulbs in the larger bed last fall and about 3/4 of them came up, those who did come up seemed fine and bloomed normal. I recently planted identical perenial flowers and shrubs in the two beds. The smaller bed is doing fine the larger bed everything but the bulbs are dying. Light is the same for both the only major difference is the soil in them, and the method of watering. I check the beds for moisture later in the day and they seem equal despite the different method of watering. I would assume soil but the flowers died with in two days of planting would poor soil be that quick?

The pH is probably very different in the beds. You can take soil samples from each bed to your nearest university. They usually have university extensions that can test them for you.
Reply:take some soil samples...call a nursery and ask where you can have your soil tested....it could be that you are over watering ...sprinklers even out the water.hand watering may not be giving them enough water or too much...before you spend any more money on shrubs and plants ...have your soil tested...both beds..much luck
