RE: CULT: Pot culture utopia

Hi,
Have you ever used Preen for weeds?
Works great and I get it at Wal Mart.

Thanks much for all the comments on my earlier
thread on this.  I am going 
to get some big bags of perlite to allow me mix
with my existing Sta-Green 
(both in bags and in already potted varieties) and
continue my 
repotting.  But at only one per variety instead of
two, since I will have 
backup rhizomes in the rest of the clump still in
the ground.  I'll 
continue trying to repot, yes all varieties,
before the end of the season, 
but might run out of season first.

Now, the big question.  Of those of you that have
tried pots, if you had 
your druthers and money were not an issue (don't
we all wish?), would you 
be a dirt grower or a pot grower?  Let us further
constrain with the 
assumption that you do indeed want to have a
non-iris life on the side (for 
me, that's volunteer hiking trail maintenance with
120 miles to personally 
look after).  I was aggressively pursuing pots
with the assumption, maybe 
false, that it would greatly reduce the weeds, and
make weeding much less 
awesome for a couple hundred clump advanced
hobbyist garden.  The answer 
might be different for you folks who are in the
business and have the time 
to treat it as such.

Thanks again,
George
