Since it is getting to be the time to do the spring feeding of the irises before bloom time I have a question of all of you. What is your spring iris regimen?

What do you use as fertilizer in the spring? Do you turn the earth and mix the fertilizer in around each individual iris, or do you broadcast spread it, then scratch it in? I have always worked it in around each iris, but with the numbers I have now this is getting to be really labor intensive. Do you use liquid fertilizers?

How early do you spread the grub killer? Is it ever too early to spray the fungicide?

I would love to hear from all of you about your methods, and if you have found anything to be more beneficial for your bloom results. Thank You!
