Just wondering how everyone is handling their peony pruning this year. Are you almost done or are you just getting started? What do you do with your peony prunings? I used to dispose of all my prunings in the trash due to the spread of disease. That used to be workable when i had less than 100 bushes and the bushes were young and did not have many stems. This year will mark the 6th and 7th year for half of my peonies so all of them have 20 stems or more per bushes. Disposing in the trash is not possible. I have never done this before but this year will be the first that I will chip my prunings in areas of the garden where peonies are not grown. I hope that the chipped prunings will not spread any disease. I will find out next year. I would love to hear what you all do with your peony prunings.
