I have my annual boat load of daffs just waiting for cooler night temps but I ran across a thread that quoted from a seminar/lecture from Brent (of Brent and Becky's) that describes using a 2-3" layer of compost and 5-6" of mulch to top. I have an ongoing problem with my neighbor's dogs digging up bulbs where I have used blood meal and I have since used super phosphates sprinkled on. I like the idea of being able to use a layer of compost under the bulbs but I don't want raised areas. (This yard is mowed from mid-June thru Oct.) Do you think I could simply dig larger holes and layer? Or maybe the compost layer and top with soil and a smaller layer of mulch?? Has anyone in TX tried this method? Any reason this wouldn't work here?
Planting Daffs on compost layer? Has anyone in TX tried ?
