Autumn 2018 - Cleaning of the Iris from weeds

This summer was quite rainy and the strong sun after the rain provoked a fast and extended growth of weeds in between the iris, even though we used the foils (I cannot imagine what a mess without the foils).

I have to admit that when I saw the situation on the fields my mood broke. This was the situation:




After a little, gathering all our forces we started - with a good help - the cleaning of all the iris; this work was accomplished just by hand with an enourmous financial and labour effort.

The result is this:




I think it was worthy!
It is also usefull to see how good are growing the iris on the fields; the use of the foils helped a lot in limitating the growth of the weeds.
