ews.gardenbanter.co.uk writes Chris Hogg Wrote: The general rule for bulbs is to plant them at a depth roughly twice that of the bulb itself. Either that or some types have specific depths recommended for them. But I have up to three inches of coarse mulch on my flower beds (shredded hedge trimmings etc). Do I include this when estimating planting depth, or do I ignore it, scrape it aside and plant at the appropriate depth in the underlying soil? If the former, then for many smaller bulbs they wouldn't actually be in the soil at all, but just in the mulch, which doesn't seem right. I've always heard that it doesn't matter as the bulbs pull or push themselves to the correct depth Wishful thinking, I think. Or else Allium moly *enjoys* rolling around on the surface ;-) -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
