Irises: does anyone put mulch on their Iris?, 1 by Depsi

Mine are on an east facing wall which does not get much moisture...I mulch them with wood chips every fall, soon as snow melts in the spring, I put some bone meal on & scratch it in with the chips and they grow like weeds...the tubers are sitting right on the top of the soil so that's why I mulch them for winter....This is the 4th winter they have been planted & this July I will be dividing them to other areas of the yard 'cause they are really getting tight in the bed + starting to flop over.....
