Gravel/Stones Around Iris??????

Weeding iris is a NIGHTMARE. At work I have planted some iris along the side of my building just for the heck of it. That part of the building has no lawn...just gravel over soil (a parking area of sorts).

I rarely have to deal with any weeding whatsoever and they are doing quite nicely.

So I'm wondering if I can't apply this discovery to the home garden as well? Have any of you used rocks/gravel around your iris? I figure that as long as I leave the rhizome's exposed they may do all right.

Anxious to hear what you all have to say
