Garden Guide Bulb Preparation & Planting

Step One 1. Prepare Bed
Dig out the soil to proper depth. A shovel is quicker and easier than a trowel. 		Step Two 2. Condition Soil
Loosen the soil and add fertilizer. If soil is sandy, mix with peat moss or leaf compost. For clay based soil, add sand or peat moss.
Step Three 3. Plant
Place bulbs firmly in soil, pointed end up. Plant bulbs in clusters, 12 or more to produce best effect.		 Step Four 4. Cover & Mulch
Cover the bulbs with soil, water well. Add two or three inches of mulch in cold areas.
