Chaley,

MVIS equals In this case Mesilla Valley Iris Society in Las Cruces, NM. I just gave a reblooming program in Albuquerque last weekend and had the pleasure to meet several MVIS members.

Hi All:



Our sale is next weekend so the MVIS club spent Labor Day weekend cleaning
the irises. One of our members made a cleaning station out of reclaimed
sinks, lumber and saw horses. Water was hooked up to three cleaning hoses
throu! gh a garden hose. A pipe was hooked up so the three sinks drained away
from people's feet and into some nearby bushes. No more muddy feet or
bending over buckets for hours. I thought you guys might find it
interesting. What do you do to clean 200+ varieties of irises for the
rhizome sales? Any tidbits to save time?
