Good luck - I must say, I've not had that problem with irises, hostas - 
yes.  DEADLINE works great around hostas.

I would also say not to over crowd the iris plants/clumps.  plenty of 
space.  BTW - those rhizomes covered with soil, will eventually be 
uncovered with soil.  (unless you plant them really deep.)  Also might 
try spreading lime - heck just throw it all over the TB bed, make it look 
like it snowed.  I have done this to help absorb excess moisture, and rid 
bad things from the garden.....those TB's are worth it...right!!!!!

Dennis, finally finished dividing beardless for the year...
