Hello,
I am a most of the time lurker and thought that I might ask a question. I
know that it is winter here, but my thoughts are of Spring. I have some
wonderful raised beds that my DH built for me and I have filled them with
mostly iris. Well, last year was a tough gardening year for me and I did
not keep the grasses pulled from my beds and you know the rest--it looks
like a grass carpet with iris sticking up. Is there something I can use
next Spring other than a shovel to dig and refurbish the beds? I am
thinking chemical to kill?? I used Grass Be Gone on a flower bed--no
iris--last summer and it did nothing--I think the grass liked it. If there
is nothing, I will plan to dig all the beds this summer after bloom and
refurbish with a little Round Up and lots of other good-for-garden
ammendments.
Any ideas?
Thanks for yout help.

the cold...
