As for burning in the spring, I know that Alan Ensminger used to do
this regularly. I say "used to" because it was a couple years ago
that I heard him say that, and I don't know if he still does it. I
know I can't because of local burning laws.
As for the discussion about bricks on the iris, I don't want to get
into a controversy or argument. I can only reiterate that I do it
and it works. Of course I didn't try to give a scientific
explanation of why, since I don't know. (For that matter, I don't
really care.) John, you may not want to be on your knees, but my
back would kill me if I tried to garden standing up, while the knees
can take it., at least so far. Different climates need different
approaches, I think, which is why what works for NW Iowa might be
irrelevant elsewhere.
