>To even think about leaving a spot empty for more than over the winter
or 10 minutes is a very difficult thing to consider.
I've spent the last few days enriching the soil of what will be my
seedling bed (should the seeds oblige me and grow). I am covering it
with oaten straw and leaving it over winter. The area is 5 x 9 metres
and is probably far more than I will need for this years seedlings. It
also houses a 2x2 metre "Unlabeled iris" bed. If I plant anything here I
have no good soil anywhere else for the seedlings when they are ready to
transplant.
If you can't bear to leave the plot fallow, why don't you try a short
crop of winter green vegetables or a green manure crop which can be dug
back into the soil.
If you grow seedlings where old bits of unknown iris are going to come
up, you are sabotaging your hybridising program.
