Fantastic article Jessica, and to the point on How to save a plant from girdled roots. Have never found an easier way for this task, when replanting potted plants. I published another article that our readers also found very helpful - perhaps your subscribers might as well. https://besthomegear.com/best-time-to-aerate-and-overseed-lawn/
You make such good sense! I mowed my lawn yesterday. It’s already an unmanicured area and the six postage stamps only occupy about 1500 sq ft. But, if I don’t keep up with the mowing, the hawkweed will win.
I have a question. I have blue irises that are in decline because they are at the edge of a 250 sq ft sloped space that is waist high. They are bordered by day lilies, spirea, hostas and greater celendine. Not far away is a Japanese knotweed. Those plants seem to be nosing out the irises which last bloomed in 2021. In another space I have yellow irises near our driveway which are in a bed that also has Irish snow, milkweed and are in the shade of a cherry tree. There are only a few iris plants but one has a stem with a future flower.
If I try and clear around the irises I feel the same plants will encroach all over again or an invasive will sneak in. Do I a physical barrier for the irises and keep everything else out?

Thanks again, Kevin

Do you have a Venmo or Paypal account? I want to support you but don't want to set up something new, if possible. Thanks, Rich.
