Like I said earlier, though, I haven't had any problems with rot or
disease. But I try to do it overnight, then I get busy, and it's been a
day before I get back to my emises bucket full of rhizomes. Also, 2
cups to a gallon is pretty diluted. I think there are 4 cups to a quart
and four quarts to a gallon. (Which those buckets can hold. One gallon
of water weighs 8 pounds. Fill those buckets up and they're heavy!)
That would equal (don't yell at me if this is wrong.) 1 part Clorox per
8 parts water.
Not bad for an amatuer.
Ross, I *just might* name an iris Rusty Buckets in commemoration my
cloroxing practices. It's better than their REAL name.
