Thanks for the information. Guess it won't hurt to give it a try!
Karen "Starlord" wrote in message ... Weather here in summer is Hot and Dry, and can at times be windy. I use the local dirt and make it into built up beds about 3inch high. I plant the iris and I put a thin layer of dirt over the rhizome to keep it from being dryed out by the sun. When I build the bed, I put down newspaper or even carpet to help hold water in the soil, then a layer of steer manuer and then the dirt. I have almost 200ft of water hose I use to even reach my garden and I use a slow soak way of watering, ( this trailer park has it's own wells ). Also I use Alfafa hay to make tea for feeding and I mix in the leftover hay ( you can use pellets or cubes ) mixed into the dirt too. My iris do good and they bloom like mad.

I'd love to take some of the iris I am growing in Portland to transplant down there but am not sure they will survive the climate. What is the summer like where you are growing yours? Karen |
