New to List - from the High Desert of Central Oregon - with a Zillion
questions!
1. The rows of iris I have in which was tilled a small amount of old
horse manure appear much healthier than those without; also used
alfalfa pellets, straw & triple superphosphate. Other observations,
please!
2. In the High Desert we have excessive heaving; I'm finding
shredded straw deters this, along with holding moisture during the
hot periods of summer. Any others with this experience???
3. When rhizomes are `barely alive', would it be beneficial to dig
and plant in pots?
4. Don't appear to have any leaf spot problems, but do have
botrytis; not much `mush', just spongy/woody; suggestions for sprays
and time of application appreciated.
Last but not least, after visiting the Willamette Valley, I was
feeling very discouraged (to the point of planting more sagebrush!!),
but now, having read of others' disappointment this year, I'll keep
hoping.
