    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. ❣️

    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!

    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.

    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….

    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.
