My iris' have just started to show some more green but I haven't gotten to cleaning up the garden yet. Is it to late to burn once they show new growth?
I can't burn the whole bed but was going to use the garden torch to burn the old leaves (while carefully avoiding the tubers!) is cutting and removing just as effective?
I'm worried because one of my iris' had a grub eating the root last year. No visible damage to the leaves just was not growing well so I dug and found half the tuber gone. Ugh!
If we had no holes in our leaves we would have no butterflies!
