consequences. But having ignored evil too often, he’s ready for the risks.

Bulbs for lawns.
Dwarf daffodils,
crocuses, snowdrops and winter aconites look great in lawns, let them die back before the first mow. If you are a chemical green lawn person who cant wait to get your lawn mower and
chemicals out as soon as you hear the cuckoo, try planting the bulbs in containers or groups you can mow and spread chemicals around.
Planting bulbs in a lawn. A natural look is obtained by dropping the bulbs on the grass and planting them where they land. A quick way to plant a lot of small bulbs is to lift an area of turf, plant the bulbs and replace the turf.
How to plant bulbs and aftercare of bulbs.
Most hardy bulbs originate from the Mediterranean, so will grow best in well drained soil in
a sunny spot. If you want to try bulbs that will thrive in the shady areas of your garden click on the link below and do a search for bulbs for shady areas.
Most bulbs are easy to plant and grow in well-drained soil with some sunshine, plant the bulbs two to three times their own
depth with the top facing upwards. Make sure there are no air spaces around the bulbs by gently firming in. If you are not sure about the correct planting depth and
spacing of the bulbs you have selected, read the label.
Aftercare
of bulbs.
Aftercare is almost minimal, probably the most important thing is to allow the bulbs to die back before mowing. Some of
the less hardy bulbs might need lifting in the winter so check the label. Bulbs planted in containers may need extra care by watering in dry weather and protecting from frost in the
winter.
