CaarolynCarolyn,
Thanks for the info on "Iris Talk, it happens that Vicki Craig came over last
week to take me through registration, Rules and regulations,the Archives and the
iris talk and Info files. I printed it all.
My work is mostly with SDBs, I grow my seedlings in beds four feet wide and
forty feet long rather than in single rows which would require more room and
more weeding. This way I can work from either side as I care for the plants.
Five weeks ago I applied Surflan to the beds, watered it in creating islands of
weed free areas which usually remain that way through the bloom season next
spring. Most every one out here uses on kind of pre emergent or another.
Sincerely, Bennett
