I dug up an iris bed today and then started to prepare it to be replanted. When I've prepared beds in the past I dug the soil eleven inches down, soaking it where it was too hard to dig. Today my soil is loose for the top six inches, but, again, I will have to soak the soil to be able to dig those last five inches. It occurred to me (because it is hot and I am getting older) that maybe six inches is enough.
How far down do you all dig when you are preparing an iris bed? I am interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions. Thanks.
