The slit trench was just the technique I was looking for as I plan to get bulbs in the ground this weekend. Thank you!

Thanks so much! Bulbs really do add a blast of hope to the garden in spring and are great for early foraging insects like honey bees 🥷🤘🥰🐝

Great video Lee, I am amazed at the amount of knowledge you have and share with us. I love watching you on TV but feel that because of the program constraints you can't show how much knowledge you have, you gave an insight to this when you were able to answer so many questions at Southport flower show. Perhaps we should have a TV show just for you, oh and the dogs of course 😃. Was that Barry sat on the wall (can't tell them apart now), he was so interested in what you were saying 😂

Thanks so much Liz! What a lovely comment to recieve on my gardening guides and work on TV's Garden Rescue. I always try and pack as much knowledge in as possible even if the TV edit reduces it somewhat. You'd be amazed at how many people stop me in the street or even in bars to ask about gardening. All of them get an answer, I'm just addicted to spreading the gardening knowledge. Ohhh my own TV show!! Imagine how many new gardeners I could create then!!! ;-) 🌿🥷

Thanks Roy! It’s perfect weather this weekend for popping in some bulbs. I’ve planted about 150 already. Must admit I’m getting a bit tired. But another 50 to go and I’m done!!! Luckily they’re tiny bluebell bulbs next! Not whopper daffs! 🥷🌿🤣👌

@Gardenninja I know what you mean,I was planting allium bulbs yesterday,around 100,its crocus,muscari &fritillaries today(200)then snowdrops if my back will allow,I've put markers in where there's existing/new bulbs,I've got tulips too but I'll wait till it gets colder for those,it's that promise of rebirth in the garden that makes it all worthwhile.

Hey Lee, thank you for all the good advices. There's always something new to learn. And you explain it very well. But I have one little problem with the video. Barry and Percy are so cute that it is difficult for me not to get too distructed from your explanation. I always enjoy very much to see them. 😃🐶🐶❤

Hi lee I,am glad I have not done my bulbs with a towel has I just put in around 4 thousand bulbs but with a bulb auger

@Gardenninja 10 ай бұрын

Well if you’re planting that many yes you’ll need a more mechanical piece of equipment. For most people though a trowel shall suffice. I always find the augers just chew the soil though and can be a bugger on the wrists if you hit a root or rock!! 🥷🌿🤘

Excellent tutorial again, Lee. Thanks so much. My bulbs are being planted where this year's Cosmos are but they're still flowering. Am I ok for another couple of weeks?

@Gardenninja 7 ай бұрын

Hi Ellie. Sorry for the slow reply. Been a bit hectic! You can plant bulbs up to December as long as no frost. If you plant them in Jan and Feb usually the ground is too frozen and hard. If so keep them dry and plant in April for next year 🥷🌿🤘

@ellie.l6585 7 ай бұрын

@@Gardenninja no problem at all, Lee. Thanks for getting back to me🌷. Yes, all my bulbs are safely planted now, so I'm hoping for the best in spring 🤞. A few have even started to appear already. Hope they'll survive the coming cold spell. Happy gardening xx

@Hayley-sl9lm 10 ай бұрын

What if I have autumn blooming crocuses -- when it is safe to move them? Is after they flower dormant enough? I have a lot in a clump that I'd like to separate but I don't know when is the best time.

@Gardenninja 10 ай бұрын

Hi Hayley. For these wait until next spring before you move them. Then they’ve stored all their energy. If you move then now or after flowering. They won’t have had enough time to store enough energy. So take it easy until April! 🥷🌿👌

@jameslturnbull 10 ай бұрын

With the depth rule..is it so the top of the bulb is three times as deep?

@Gardenninja 10 ай бұрын

Yes. So measure the bulb against say your trowel blade. Then move it down twice more and you have your depth. Alternatively if your bulb is 5cm long. Bury it 15cm in the ground. Simple! 🥷🌿👌
