Default 50% wisteria mulch in my soil

I just mixed a significant amount (possibly as much as 50%) of
chipped/shreaded wisteria "branches" and leaves into a raised bed. I'm
hoping it will mulch and then compost. I then put crocus and chionodoxa
bulbs in the bed.

Is wisteria bad mulch or compost? I know the amount is a bit much and that
I didn't wait for it to compost, but.......

Now the lady I did this for offered to buy top soil to add. That's great
but do you think it should wait till spring when the bulbs die out? I'm
tempted to just disturb and rebury the bulbs now. Is the 3-4" depth
critical for the bulbs mentioned above? As it is I just scattered them and
raked soil and mulch over them.

I guess there are a couple of questions here. If anyone can untangle them,
I love some advice.

Thanks,


Michael
