I was told 1 cup of dial antibacterial soap per gallon of water.
Our Iris beds flooded and stood under about 4 inches of water for
several hours. First time that that area has flooded in over 70
years according to our neighbor... lucky us... Rot set in BIG TIME.
I actually painted the soap right on the rhizome without diluting
it. It seemed to really help. I was desperate and was trying
everything. We still lost about 30 of the weeker ones that we had
just planted last fall.
