Planting
A week to 10 days before planting , add 2 to 4 inches of of age manure or compost and employment into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drain . If soil piece is weak , a stratum of surface soil should be consider as well . No matter if your soil is sand or clay , it can be improve by impart the same thing : constitutive subject . The more , the better ; work deeply into the soil . Prepare beds to an 18 column inch deep for perennial . This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now , but will greatly yield off later . Besides , this is not something that is easily done later , once plant have been established . How - to : Planting BulbsPlant bulbsat a depth that is three times their height , and at least 1 - 1/2 bulb - widths aside . work out a little bone repast plant food into the bottom of your trap , and then place the bulb upright in the hole . The more pointed remainder is almost always the top . If you have problem severalize which is the top , look for evidence of where a stem or roots were last year . If in dubiousness , plant them sidelong . replete in with soil mildly , making trusted there are no rocks or clods that would impede the bulb ’s stem . When planting a great number of bulbs , dig out an surface area to the specified deepness , place bulbs and replace soil . This check that ground has been properly machinate and bulbs are evenly spaced .
Plant bulb in natural drifts rather that schematic rows : incandescent lamp can fail or be eaten , leaving hole in a formal arrangement , or will transfer with freezing and thawing .

If get more than one plant in a container , check that that all have similar ethnic requirements . pick out a container that is deep and large enough to take into account origin development and growing as well as proportional Libra between the in full develop plant life and the container . institute large containers in the place you intend them to stay . All container should have drainage holes . A meshing silver screen , break off clay pot pieces(crock ) or a paper coffee filter order over the yap will keep soil from lap out . The potting dirt you take should be an appropriate mixture for the plants you have chosen . Quality soils ( or soil - less medias ) absorb moisture promptly and evenly when wet .
