Re: CAT: Riverview

Dear Nancy,
Yes, I leave the rhizhome coated with the soap. Since it is jelly like it will cling a long time and give residual protection. In my garden I had one planted last year try to rot recently. I squirted some of the soap directly onto the spot and it appears to have stopped it. I am very pleased with this soap. 
Keep us posted.

  Thanks so Much Vernon, It seems Missouri is a real
  killer when it comes to heat and humidity. I dug
  around all the plants and watered with the mild bleach
  solution.  I think I also read about the
  anti-bacterial soap in the AIS bullentin.    Do you
  leave the soap on the rhizome when you plant it?  It
  is probably too late to coat the ones that are already
  showing rot from last weekends planting. 
  Today is our iris auction and I know a few more
  additions will be added to our collection...I will
  give it a try!!!
  Again thank you
  Nancy
