Lora...a few questions. Where is your garden? Are you speaking of Japanese
irises? If so, how many years have you been growing Japanese irises in the
same locations? The reason I am asking these questions is that your
exerience, if related to Japanese irises, is quite different than anyone else
I know who has been growing Japanese irises for more than 5 or 6 years. So we
would really want to know what kind of soil conditioner you are using, and
what kind of potting soil. Thank you in advance for this
information...Clarence Mahan in VA
