CULT: New Beginnings

From: akasha@midusa.net

Hello everyone!  This is your newcomer, Michelle.  I have just started
my hobby with Iris.  I have ordered 19 different bulbs due to arrive in
late summer.  I want to do well and keep them all alive.  I have done
some extensive reading on the subject of planting and care.  I am a
little perplexed when it comes to fertilizing.  I have bought a good
6-10-10 fertilizer, but I am a little usure of how to apply it.  Some
articles say not to use much fertilizer and some say it is essential in
establishing new bulbs.  We have had a wet year and I do not want to
encourage rhizome rot.  I would love some hints.  The other question is,
I am not sure how big to make my bed.  Also, should I make it a long or
wide bed.  Any suggestiona would be appreciated.
