The message
from Sacha contains these words:

We're just getting round to putting in tulip bulbs now. BTW, has anyone
else heard/read/known that burying them about 8" deep makes them display
better year after year?

Yes it was on the TV last week/week before. Cannot remember what
programme though.

Looked hard work said she was growing them for cut flowers.
Sorry to be vague put it down to age. ((

It was Sarah Raven on Gardener's World. It was something to do with
preventing them from forming bulblets at the base so they put all their
energy into the main flower.
