Bulbs

[bhscarlett]

For those of you who like bulbs,,,, here is a little mix for their holes to get them going,
Bulb Starter:

20 lbs. mushroom compost
10 lbs. peat moss
5 lbs. bonemeal
2 lbs. bloodmeal
2 lbs. fireplace wood ash
1 lbs. lime

Mix contents in a wheelbarrow, make sure all contents are dry to allow proper mixing of lime. Add 1 cup of the mixture to the planting hole mixing with garden soil below bulb. Soak bulbs overnight in 1 Gal. water with 1 tsp of epsom salt before planting. Bulbs can be soaked in there bags if the bags are net or plastic with holes. Bulbs should be planted in well drained soil to prevent rot.
I found this receipe while i was looking to see if anything gets them started well,, hope it works,, Blessings,, beth
