Helpful Tips |
|
|
|
After you dig the hole for your tuber or bulb, you can sprinkle 2 heaping tablespoons of bonemill over the area that you will be placing your bulb or tuber. Bonemill is a good source of nourishment for your bulb or tuber. |
|
|
|
When planting bulbs and or tubers, always check the packaging that the bulb came in, to see if the bulb needs to be lifted out of the ground in the fall! Certain hardy bulbs can stay in the ground for the winter, however if you live in an area where the temperature could drop to below freezing, you may want to put a heavy coat of leaves or mulch over top of where the bulbs are planted for extra protection. |
|
|
|
If you have to lift your bulbs out of the ground for the winter, you can use old pantyhose to store your bulbs in. Also be sure to store your bulbs in a dark, cool, dry place for the winter. |
