Re: Iris Myths
From: Dana Brown <ddbro@llano.net>
I agree with Mike about solarizing. I have solarized twice now, this year
will be the third time. I can tell you that in Texas, there was NO rot
following solarization. As a matter of fact, the soil was looser, with
better tilth and the newly planted iris have shown high rates of growth. In
other words it is wonderful.
I also know that at least a couple of the tour gardens that I have been
in that did have rot also used vast quantities of compost, which IMHO is
much more likely to cause rot than the solarizing.
