My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Soaking a bare root iris before planting?

6 years ago

How long do you soak it? It's been dusted with fungicide. It's very dry looking but some knobs are obviously alive.
Also, this piece looks like a hand or a wrist with a few fingers. Some parts are collapsed looking.
Should I be cutting it up into sections, or removing the collapsed parts?
Thanks.
