It’s
time to plant your bulbs for beautiful blooms next spring! This year, try my
secret layering trick for getting twice—or even three times—the number of
blooms in the same amount of space. Dig one hole about 8 inches deep, then
plant several layers of bulbs in the same spot. Here’s how:
Step 1: Set the bulbs of the latest-blooming
bulbs you’ve chosen (usually late tulips or lilies) in the bottom of the hole.
Step 2: Replace enough soil to barely cover the
bulb tips, then set in the next layer (try early and midseason tulips, or
daffodils).
Step 3: Add more soil, then set in the top layer
of smaller bulbs (like snow crocuses).
Step 4: Finish by covering with a mulch of
leaves, shredded bark, or wood chips, plus a scattering of moth crystals over
the top to keep critters away.
It’s
that easy!
