AND like you ... it gives me room to move any daylilies that need to be divided or move daylilies around to free up more space for new ones! Brilliant!!! THANK YOU!!!

I do have one question ... did the straw kill off the grass in that area? I just don't want the grass competing with the daylilies for water and fertilizer.

Yes. In my method I dug holes for spacing for an entire row of daylilies before I moved any. I left the grass in between them. Then later I put straw over the grass to kill it. Just straw and yes that killed the grass just fine.
