The neighbor's irises are so beautiful that they take pictures of the whole village. I found out what she does with flowers in August-September

Do you want to grow beautiful irises? Then a fiery fireworks, restless florist! Today on the agenda is the August care of irises, which will give garden plants unprecedented strength for the next year. And I have someone to learn from. Reporting!

Irises and Galya

My fellow villager, Galina, has a lot of irises in her garden. I wouldn't have paid much attention if I hadn't noticed strange teenagers around them one day. They jerked their hands in front of each other in a funny way and twisted them over their heads.

Later my wife explained to me casually: "So it's the kids who are shooting tik-tok! And in general, all my friends have already gone to Gala to take photos for Odnoklassniki! And even men went, who wants a beautiful avatar! ". When I asked why my wife hadn’t gone to take a picture yet, she replied that 2 months ago she took some female garbage from Pebbles and didn’t want to give it to her. The argument was weighty.

But I didn't take anything from Gali! Deciding to get an avatar with irises, I came up with an ingenious plan. Grab a couple of overripe zucchini and try to hand the Iris Fairy to the rural Fairy, as if in gratitude, so that she would tell how she cares for them. And the threat had an effect on the cheat: she told me the "chips" of leaving in August and September.

In August - an important top dressing

First of all, Galya feeds irises with mineral fertilizers. She didn’t want to say the name, but I just put the largest zucchini in front of me. Galya gave up: potassium salt. She simply scatters granules over the surface and generously spills soil from a hose: the fertilizer goes deep into the bowels of the flower bed and begins to dissolve.

"It is logical!" - I thought. No wonder potassium prevails in the "Autumn" fertilizers. Galkin's top dressing strengthens the rhizomes of irises. Now it is clear why she has them so healthy and twig by leaps and bounds.

In early September - hilling

Irises have one feature - over time, their rhizome begins to bulge out of the ground. In the fall, due to constant precipitation, a couple of millimeters of soil will certainly settle. And Galya is in a hurry to correct the defect by throwing a small (1 cm) layer of earth on the irises. The frost will not bother the irises: they will be able to rest in peace.

Comrades! I am by no means saying that irises freeze without "shelter". I know perfectly well that frost in central Russia will definitely not kill them. For I well remember how I threw out the extra dug out rhizomes to the compost heap, and although they had been lying in lumps of earth on the surface all winter, they began to grow together in April.

Irises are not spud up so that they do not disappear. They are huddled so that the frost does not disturb them at all. After all, something more is required from a decorative flower than just to survive, don't you think?

At the end of September - it is better to cut roses

Galya is ready to laugh in the face of those who advise by all means to cut the leaves of irises for the winter. Yes, and cut some pyramids. The village supplier of tik-tok commercials has 2 arguments that are unshakable in her mind:

• Iris leaves provide additional protection from the cold.
• Iris leaves are re-melted over the winter and serve as a natural organic fertilizer. It is logical that.

I don't know about you, but I decided to follow the advice of the respected cheat Galina.

Do you like irises and was this article helpful? Click, comrade, "Thumbs up"! Otherwise, I'll come with my zucchini to you - they are still gathering dust on the veranda.
Sincerely yours, perplexed, at what moment did your wife find out about tik-tok, Fyodor Tyapkin-Sklyankin.
