Season 2016 - Works on progress

Dear Friends,

these very last days were very busy for us. We spent a lot of tough working hours in order to clean and further transform our cultivation of iris.

As I would like to say, our aim is a production 100% natural. This means that all the works done on the flowers must be done without the use of any chemical product. This is our philosophy and we keep up to this goal.

Actually the situation we found was really bad: because of the huge rains of April 2016, May 2016 and June 2016 and the very sunny days of the end of June itself the grass grew very fast and tall.
We had to intervene to clean everything but also to find a solution to this fact, otherwise we will have a lot of costs for the maintenance of the fields.

The idea was to increase the surface of the foils to block the growth or the grass.

The picture above shows the end of the (hard) works we did. The flowers of the iris are now totally cleaned and they are growing very well. The quality of the roots is also increasing and the works are now easier to achieve.

Below: the long foil before cutting: 100 m!
