Lora --
you said:
Planting irises in the same location after the iris has been taken out
works fine for me. I put soil conditioner and a new potting soil
together in the hole with a 5-20-20 fertilizer and get beautiful flowers
the following year. I also plant the iris at the top of ground level and
cover with small bark to protect from heat and maintain moisture. Haven'
t seen any rot in my beds except when the iris gets too far down in the
ground.

Where do you garden? What is "soil conditioner", is that something to
purchase in a bag??
