Are you interested in learning about how to get started with flower bulbs? Here are a few tips that will help to get you started:
Choose the right bulbs.
Being particular about what bulbs you want to plant is not a bad thing. Keep the variety and the quality of the bulbs in the front of your mind while shopping. Selecting a bulb that will fit well into your environment is of highest importance. After you buy your bulbs, store them in a cool dry area that has good airflow. Never stack bulbs on top of each other or in a close pile. Label your bulbs so that you know what you have when it comes time to plant. Check the bulbs frequently for signs of decay while you are waiting to plant them.
Use good planting supplies.
Trowels or bulb diggers are good tools for planting small areas of bulbs. Spades are more useful in planting larger areas. Always remember to fertilize so that your bulbs get all the proper nutrients. When planting in a smaller area, a teaspoon of bone meal can be added into the soil before planting. Label where you plant each bulb so that you can easily keep organized. (more…)
