I normally don't like killing things, but when I'm cleaning up irises
for replanting and I get one of those huge wiggly pink mature-size
worms, it sure feels good to set it down on a rock and flatten it with
the back of my spade!!!!!


I cut them in half with my pruning shears. Same feeling of
satisfaction.

But do you know if I can leave the rhizomes out of the ground for a
week or so, to see if any more appear?
