 A yuckie, brown, mushy, smelly rot--which I rarely had before this year -what do I do to the rot to get it under control before I loose whole clumps to it?
When I encountered this problem in the spring, I used a combination of things:  I poured 25% clorox (1 part clorox + 3 parts water) on the affected plants.  I used a knife and cut out the affected part of the rhizome, and then poured Comet on the cut area.  This sometimes had to be repeated.  I do have some part of each affected plant that has survived.  I have also sprayed with fungicides, before and after the mushy rot occurred.Good Luck!
