I've got most of my spring-flowering bulbs planted and some I put in a

dutch irises at something under 1.50 for 20).


I planted a large net worth of bulbs into 6 very large tubs on Friday.

Something (possibly a fox) dug into every single pot on Sunday night
and most of the bulbs ended up outside of the pot or on the surface of
the soil.


I wonder if you used Blood fish and bone or hoof and horn in your compost mix.
Foxes and badgers sell food so dig looking for it.


How much do they get for it :-)
