	Our soil has a pH of 5.7 which is good for JIs and SIs and
	hopefully our bearded irises will do as well....I do
	amend the soil for peonies and day-lilies and nothing else.
	Just the immediate hole in one of the mixed borders which is a
	hodge-podge of everything including SIs, species, I. pallida,etc.

	I am careful not to have JIs near this particular bed since
	I add bone meal to the soil. I have some raised beds and
	some not (of course JIs are not in a raised bed).

	Cheers,

	Ellen
