I don't find that to be true at all (that they stop blooming because
they are too deep). I plant my Daffodils 8 inches deep (because I plant
annuals on top of them and don't want to disturb the bulbs) and they
keep blooming (and multiply) every year.

Daffodils stop blooming because the soil is very poor and/or the foliage
is not left in place long enough for the new bloom (for next year) to
develop. Deadheading and applying bone meal will help keep them
blooming every year.
