Re: TB: REB: WINESAP & Miracle Grow

Francelle , 

I agree with you , I'd say that pouring a properly diluted application
Miracle Grow directly onto a rhizome is an excellent recipe for rot. 
Bone meal is the best for me but it's expensive.

> Mark, how do you get away with using Miracle Grow on irises?  Six tablespoons of that stuff killed half a row for me.  I used it in February.  They grew well all summer, but when the fall rains came half of the clumps succumbed to rot.  I know the fertilizer was to blame because that was the only place I used it, and I didn't have that problem with the ones that didn't get any.  Cooley's say not to use it, and now I'm a believer.
