Iris beds

From: starlord@ptw.com (Slc.Dennis Bishop)

 I know that most of you have a lot bigger iris beds than me, but
 I'll tell you one thing, I'll personnaly KNOW every tiny little
 speck of dirt in my iris bed!

 First I take my hand shovel (10 inch long) and I dig down to
 about 6inch and I losen the soil and then I hand dig it and move
 it to a pile for sun drying. after I get a good section dug out
 I then take my little dirt strainer (hotdog bun tray) and the
 next day I start shifting the soil to get rocks, roots, etc. out
 of it.

 I fill a 3gal bucket with the shifted soil and when it's full I
 start back filling in the dug out area a hard full at a time.

 At the hight I want it at, I start planting the Iris or moving
 other Iris. remember those compost Iris I got back in March or
 so, they are all growing just fine. The brown bag iris, I lost
 most of them, but there are three still growing.

 I justgot two seven falls and have them in a pot of their own.

 My Iris area (space between my trailer aand net one) is growing.
 If even just 1/4th of them bloom next year it'll be some show.

 I'll take a photo of my iris area during the next few days and
 when ever I get the photo disk back, anyone wants to see this
 area of iris, I'll be happy to send you the jpg of it.

 And the crasy things I've found that were buried when this
 trailer park was built! just haven't found J.H.'s body yet.

 Dahliaman with major pains tonight.
