COMP: digging and dividing

***** This is a repost under the COMP subject tag for those with filters
*****


I want to bring up a sad point.  I researched the culture information on the
AIS WEBSITE and also the culture information on each and every COMMERCIAL
IRIS LINK and many LOCAL CLUB AFFILIATES on the AIS Website for step by step
instructions on how to dig and divide iris clumps, and the information I
found was sorely lacking.  There really is not that much information out
there listing step by step instructions for new iris growers.

I would like to suggest you all take a look at your websites to determine
how you can make it more informative.  A brief overview is fine and space is
limited, but in this case all those websites combined could not answer
Sherri's question very well.  Just something to think about.

(My answer to Sharri's question is found under her original subject tag).
