Hi Rima,
I Have about 20 raised beds for the irises and the rest are in the
ground. The raised beds were used primarily because the molds came by
and pushed the rhizomes out of the ground. I placed wire under the beds
so now they are kept safe from gophers.
I used bark around the beds therefore the weeding is minimal and much
cleaner for me.
When I speak of raised beds, I only use a 2 by 4. I dig the dirt out
of the flower bed and the wire on the bottom enables the dirt to give me
about 6 to 8 inches in depth.
Hope this helps you.

3,000 feet. Irises growing well. Still have some fertilizing to do and
then will sit back
and hopefully watch them bloom.
