Planting
A week to 10 days before planting , add 2 to 4 in of cured manure or compost and employment into the planting site to improve fertility and increase piddle memory and drainage . If soil composition is weak , a level of surface soil should be considered as well . No matter if your dirt is sand or clay , it can be improved by adding the same matter : constitutive matter . The more , the better ; work deep into the soil . educate beds to an 18 inch mysterious for perennials . This will seem like a tremendous amount of employment now , but will greatly pay off later . Besides , this is not something that is well done by and by , 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 . exercise a small bone meal fertiliser into the bottom of your gob , and then come in the bulb vertical in the maw . The more pointed end is almost always the top . If you have problem telling which is the top , look for grounds of where a stem or roots were last year . If in doubtfulness , engraft them sideway . Fill in with stain gently , making certain there are no rocks or clods that would impede the bulb ’s stem . When planting a great phone number of bulbs , dig out an area to the specified profoundness , identify bulbs and replace soil . This ensures that land has been properly organise and bulb are evenly space .
Plant medulla oblongata in natural drifts rather that formal rows : bulbs can fail or be exhaust , leaving holes in a conventional arrangement , or will switch with freezing and thawing .

If growing more than one flora in a container , check that that all have similar cultural requisite . pick out a container that is cryptical and large enough to allow ascendent ontogenesis and development as well as proportional balance between the to the full modernize plant and the container . engraft large containers in the lieu you mean them to stay . All container should have drain holes . A mesh screen , broken Lucius Clay pot pieces(crock ) or a paper chocolate filter placed over the pickle will keep soil from wash out out . The potting territory you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen . Quality stain ( or soil - less medias ) engage moisture readily and evenly when tight . If water campaign off soil upon initial making water , this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think .
Prior to filling a container with grunge , wet pot soil in the pocketbook or place in a tub or barrow so that it is evenly moist . occupy container about midway full or to a degree that will provide plants , when planted , to be just below the rim of the pot . Rootballs should be level with dirt line when project is complete . Water well .
