OK, now *I'm* confused... it is OK to water transplanted iris? How can
one tell if one is overdoing it?
I will also take the chance to re-ask a question which I haven't seen
answered, and if it was, my profound apologies, as I lost a couple
hours' mail:
can one foliar feed the fans (foliage) the same way one feeds other
plants (fish emulsion, seaweed, etc. or HastaGro or any other foliar
*feed* rather than insect/fungal control), or would this be an
invitation to rot / not be very effective?
