RE: Great article on dividing iris

that must be some great soil.. to be able to use a spade bare foot .. whats that all about ...

i tend to just tear them apart ... they break at NATURAL weak spots...

it was suggested to me once.. that in general ...[not iris] ... that large cuts can rot faster .. comparatively speaking...

and do fan them for sure...

i dug out about 100 in the last week... and gave them all away ... actually.. lol.. i dug out 20.. and ended up with 100 ... lol ...

go for it peony.. this is a foolproof plant to work with.. and because all the pieces are so big.. you can really learn a lot ...
