Bearded irises can be divided any time after your last frost date in the spring, but many irisarians believe the optimal time to divide them is 6-8 weeks after bloom. Avoid transplanting irises in very hot weather (90+ F degrees), but do get them tr This thread came from the Soil, Compost and Mulch forum. Don't laugh too much - if you are a serious gardener these symptoms will soon be appearing in you. Enjoy. You Know You are a Compost Whacko When....... Posted by ryanzone7 profess

ATD are a specialist organization that offers anyone the opportunity to compete in "challenge of a life-time" events raising money for charity.

Plant new irises immediately after you get them. When each new plant is in the ground, remove the stapled name tag and insert it in the soil in front of the iris. Irises need at least six to eight weeks to get well established before winter begins.

Every three to four years you should dig, thin, and replant bearded irises in late summer or early autumn. Keep the rhizomes which have white roots and green leaves. Discard the rest. For easier planting, trim the roots to two inches long. Cut the leaves back to about six inches in length with the center leaf of the fan being the longest.

Blue or blue-toned irises are usually the most fragrant. The perfume genes are also the genes which provide the color blue.

The choice over whether to divide large plants really depends on your growing goals and situation. You may wish to grow the plant into a larger 'specimen plant' that will produce larger and more flowers reliably, or you may want to produce divisions for trade or sale if the plant is in demand. Because most of our plants 'work by producing seed, we are very hesitant to divide them unless they fall apart at a division point when they are repotted.

Not much. Ordinarily, average rainfall is adequate. The fastest way to kill your irises is to water them excessively during the summer when it is hot.

In warmer climates, plant the iris with the top of the rhizome just below ground level. In colder climates, plant the iris about one-half to one inch deep. Water well after planting; then water again in a couple of days. After that, normal rainfall should be adequate.

Fertilize your irises twice a year using a formula that is high in phosphorus (that is the middle number). Do not feed lawn fertilizer to irises or allow lawn fertilizer to travel into the iris beds. Lawn fertilizer is high in nitrogen (that is the first number) which causes lush growth and little to no flowering.

In the Spring. Place your order while there is the largest selection available. The order deadline is July 31 which allows time to dig and ship the rhizomes for you to plant 6 to 8 weeks before the first freeze.

To have irises bloom for more weeks, raise bearded irises of different heights and types. Typically, the Dwarf irises start the bloom season. They are followed by the Intermediates and the early Talls. Then the Border Beardeds and other Talls complete the season.

Irises are hardy, easy-to-grow perennials with few problems. In the Spring you may see some fungal leaf spot (during rainy, moist conditions) which can be treated with a fungicide. Bacterial soft rot has a rotten potato smell and can quickly kill the iris. Rot is caused by excessive water when the soil it warm or hot. Removing the dead tissue and applying a chlorine cleanser like Comet may save the plant.

When the bloom is finished on an iris stalk, use a sharp knife to cut off the stalk about an inch above the rhizome. You should not cut down the green iris leaves (except when transplanting). No, that is not true. Hybrid irises do not change from their original color white. If the iris bed is not properly cared for, the dominant white irises may grow over and choke out the others.

Yes. You must make sure that your root partition is below 1024 cylinders so the BIOS can boot the kernel from it. (Note that this is a limitation in the PC's BIOS, not FreeBSD). For a SCSI drive, this will normally imply that the root partition will be in the first 1024MB (or in the first 4096MB if extended translation is turned on - see previous question). For IDE, the corresponding figure is 504MB.

You can divide your space between domains any way you like. You can also oversell your space which give you more control.

It’s always best to divide plants when dormant, or just before a period of active growth. Spring blooming plants should be divided in the fall (late Aug. to mid Sept.)

A Continental Divide is a physical land formation that parts the main waterways of a continent. The North American Continental Divide begins in Northern Alaska continuing south through the Canadian Rockies. In the United States the Divide follows the Rocky Mountains through Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. The southern portion of the Divide peaks along Mexicos Sierra Madre Occidental.

This is the potential difference between those who have regular and easy access to ICT and those who don't and their ability to live a full and successful life. The Government is committed to narrowing this gap through a range of activities as set out in the Policy Action Team (PAT 15) report. This includes initiatives such as UK online centres, Wired up Communities,Ufiand learndirect.
