How to Water Trees Away from a Water Source
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much for your information it is of great help to me.
god bless the people who post the most niche videos like this, you never know when you’re going to end up needing this kind of advice 😂 ❤❤❤❤
Safe my ass, just pull them
I have brown spots all over my Iris. What should I do?
So helpful, thanks!
Love this! Learned a lot! ❤
After watching countless videos on this, I used this technique with 1.4” hardware cloth, without seeing this video. This has been the best technique if you can’t lift them all at once. It had taken me 3 months because mine is larger, I’m tiny (4’ 9” and have Lyme.) and we have had heatwaves. Now I want to wash the dust and dirt off them! The stones, from upper MI are beautiful and I can’t find more like them. Anyone know what will wash away mulch dust, dirt, and make them look nice? The landscapers want to out down glue to keep the grass they don’t bag out of the stones. Not sure if that’s the answer, because it also collects debris from a distressed tree. ❣️
My first gardening boss said, "plant irises like a duck sits on the water." :)
These cool weather annual invasive grasses are whats igniting many of the fires in the west.
The only problem with bagging it is it will go to some landfill and spread from there.
Thank you so much, I put a bunch in the ground today , too deep. Tomorrow I’ll go re-do them correctly. Blessings and best regards.
Love this idea! I went Lowes to get the mesh. However, I laid my mesh over a 30year old little red wagon and let the debris go into the wagon. Wheeled it around and dumped it when finished. The clean rock rolled off onto a plastic cloth on my patio so I could shove it back where it belongs. No heavt lifting!
The iris is almost as beautiful as you
This plant is taking over my grown cover! I need it gone permanently.
How can you remove this permantly?
I followed the tips in this video late winter and now my Russian sage is the best looking on the block! Thank you. It has never looked THIS good.
How do o kill it when it takes over my yard
Very good idea and excellent tips, thank you.
Thank you for the video. Remember to always use your pruning shears with the blade towards the portion that you are going to retain. If the Anvil is towards the portion you are going to retain it will be a crushing cut which would heal much more slowly and look unattractive in the meantime. This is a general rule of thumb with all pruning
Does the same rhizome produce flowers the following years? I don't think so. Once a stalk has bloomed, that rhizome can be cut off completely.
Hi 👋 old video but I’m looking for salvia pruning/trimming..now? June 3rd. Does it flop generally n if cut back will it bloom again? Thanks
Thank you .
this was the best video i’ve seen on planting iris - one suggestion the light coming in between the fence boards was very distracting - at first i thought it was stripes of some sort - thanks again
Very informative
Thank you for this video! Is the photo at 5:48 just one Iris that you planted? One rhizome?
I don't THINK I searched this topic, but I definitely thought about it. Now the internet reads our minds. 😊
I just love Pansies, thank you 🪴
Excellent video; thank you!😁
Planting ok , traditional practice is also trim fans to 2-3 inches . Old Landscape Gardener ... ,
NO SOUND???
This is last time I see you post a video. Hope to see you post future videos. You are great. 😊
Thank you for the great info!!
I have several irises that didn't bloom? Could it be the rhizomes are too deep or too high?
This instructional video is 10 years old my 1st time watching. I planted my blue mist spirea 2 years ago and now I finally know how to prune it correctly to show off it's beautiful shape and flowers. Thank you!
I’m new to iris flowers …. This year I’m smitten & will get more! ❤
Thank you! The Irises here at my new home need help and now I know what to do 💐
잘보고갑니다 감사합니다
That big size hole isn’t necessary
I always burn my plants when i fertilize
Monty Don says to bake rhizomes in the sun.
I’ve dug up iris bulbs and thrown them in the woods on either side of my yard. There are blooming iris in the woods on either side of my yard. You can’t kill them!
That's what my mom says. She thinned hers one year and just threw some across the road at the edge of a cow field and sure enough they grew and flowered.
Thank you for this. I noticed that you didn’t amend the soil. Use bone meal or any other additions. I have some rhizomes that are not buried deeply but still don’t bloom. Other irises right beside these bloom very well. Not sure what they need; there are lots of healthy leaves….
So helpful! I live in a wet climate so the leaves turn yellow and flop over and get slimy. The slugs hang out on them and they shade out the other plants coming in, and I’m sooo tempted to cut them off, but I don’t think they are quite ready yet
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing.
Excellent content.
Take all leaves in your hand and tie a knot!… Very simple and looks tidy when done.
Thanks God after I watched some videos finally somebody showed where should I exactly cut :) Thanks for your video
Nice message. Thank you for sharing.
I used to use miracle-gro years ago on my pots of annual's and yes you get great blooms but the problem is aphids. They are attracted to the high nitrogen content in miracle-gro. Now I feed my annuals with tomato feed once a week and the aphid problem has been solved.
