This is my main iris bed where all the modern irises were grown. Dug and disposed of them
and put the plastic down after watering the very dry soil. Pegged the plastic about each 6
feet and sealed the edges with soil. For a sizeable sheet as this, I recommend pegging at
least a cross L x W at 4 to 6 feet intervals to prevent the wind from raising the plastic and
tearing it loose.
