Courgette leaves dying

    I've grown courgettes in containers this year but the yield wasn't as good as last.

    The leaves started to turn yellow so I top dressed the containers with well-rotted manure but this didn't really help.

    Does anyone know what would have caused this?

    I've cut all the yellow stems and leaves off today - will that help?

    Are they fruiting? If so I wouldn't worry about the yellow leaves as they do start to turn as they are fruiting. However they do need loads of water, especially in pots, as courgettes are mostly water.

    Are they all going yellow or just a few??
