Re: CULT: Irises in pots 3 years running

From: Maslon@aol.com

hello, im christopher maslon in columbus ohio.
i have been on the iris talk for some time silently listening and learning 
from all of You all.
i have done iris in pots for 3 years the great thing about it is CONTROL.
you can control, what you have and irises grow here in pots above ground its 
snowing out side i have little worry unto that this spring the rhizomes with 
be pushing new leaves. i have had, with some success a rhizome iris maggot 
break down, if a worm is knowledged to be in the pot withthe rhizomes a 
instant pull up  of the pot and  out comes everthing  to be cleaned and 
inspected. the other great thing is" what is this rhizome or that rhizome" 
well with pots you need little guess work what goes in the pot  comes out. On 
the ground level there is a well this could be '' or that could be-- one 
problem i have had the cycle of pulling pots and  thinning out over crowded 
rhizomes. iris need space and a pot is confining. i use a nursery 7 x 12 " 
which is avalible to wholesalers, it is often hard to find, i also mark the 
pot and use a old window blind and #2 pencil to mark each pot with anotebook 
of what is where.
my successses to you all anyone who woul dlike to privatly email me can 
to ask more questions.
