Last post for now ... I promise :)
Okay ... my existing bed of "normal purple irises" -- (do I call them iris
trojana (the name on the bottom of the botanical plate I found online)?) is
a raised bed, very full on the one end of irises ... also there are
daffodil in the bed too. How do I go about digging, dividing and
replanting ... also, tell me about the bleach rinse to keep away rot? Can
I trim the fans short while I'm dividing or should I leave them long? And
when should I start working on this here in Zone 5b?
Also how about organic fertilizers? I go organic with my other garden
"piddling" so I want to stay organic here too. And Can I mulch them in
Zone 5b?
Lots of questions ... and I don't even know if I'm asking the right ones????
