Default How much soil to replace to stop this mess?

How big an area would you remove and replace, how wide and how deep?

I have sadly concluded that I have one spot in my little backyard garden that is a serial killer. Last year my Amazon Chocolate in that spot just up and died. It looked good, next thing I knew it quickly shriveled up and died.

It is a primo spot, lots of sun, what I thought was a nice fertile area. But this year, I put my ONE Pink Berkeley Tie Dye plant there, and it looked good until suddenly I realized it was not keeping up ... and now it is pathetic, tiny, shriveled, definitely dying.

In the first picture, taken July 12 2020, there is a Carbon to the left, and the next one to the right is the PBTD and both look fine.

In the second picture, taken yesterday August 4 2020 from a different angle, the PBTD is on the dying thing in the left, and the Carbon is on the right, looking big and healthy.
