Bone meal and alfalfa bring too many critters to the beds. I already have a hard enough time dealing with them.
Over a week ago, I scratched in some 6-20-10 in the older beds. I also removed any remaining dead leaves, removed soil that got washed over the rhizomes from all the rain and cut off any leaf spot that I saw. The new beds and replanted beds did not get fertilized.
Liz, I remember reading Ghio recommending hitting the irises with 10-10-10 after blooming. Maybe Sherry can confirm that...
