Most of my iris are double or triple rows in raised beds outlined in river
rock. I scoot around on a kneeling pad to weed two raised beds at a time. I
am about half way through the task. I have been concerned about the weeds
on the ground around the raised beds but am timid about using Round Up.
Should I get a goat (joke) I appreciate any info you can offer.
