Bulbs: Has anyone found a bulb-planting tool that really works?, 1 by LeawoodGardener

I just amended the soil in a bed I use for bulbs in the spring, annuals in the summer. Three years ago a creek remodeling project contractor left me with the usual combo of clay/rock they use for backfill behind a retaining wall (they assumed I'd put in grass sod, I guess - instead I planted a border garden). Each spring and fall for the last three years I have topped it off with horse manure and hand-spaded the bed. Last spring it really wore me out, so this fall I hauled in my horse manure and hired a guy with a tiller to work it over - the results are great - planting tulips will be a breeze (yeah, I do 'em one at a time, with a trowel - this bed takes 750).
