: Hi Chris, No, it wouldn't be right. Any bulb simply planted in the mulch would be a gift for birds, mice, squirrels, etc. If you have very heavy/wet soil though, a mulch can be a way of growing bulbs that would otherwise rot. You simply put small bulbs on the soil surface, and stick the mulch on the top. Works very well for crocus, for example. I did this successfully, (though it was not a garden that had problems with bird or mouse attacks: in fact most of the time I was there, the bird population was spookily low: it's weird how you notice the absence of birdsong...)
