doesn't bone meal 'repel' rather than attract critters?

Hi Botanus, It's my first time planning bulbs. Can you please kindly advice if I need to water straight away after I put the bulbs in. Because other video show they do. So I am fairly confuse if I should or not. Thank you

When should I start watering fall bulbs. I want to plant some in a pot for next spring but I'm not sure if they need to be watered as soon as I plant the or when the season begins

Every time I plant bulbs a mole or gopher eats them every time. Is there anything I can do to keep the moles away?

I have been trimming back the brown tipped/drooping blooms from my calla lily, is this helping or hurting the plant?

You can never have enough bulbs ;) and we hope you have fun planting them all David...good luck! ~pam~

Ok, I believe you :-) 400 bulbs arrived from Botanus earlier this week. I hope I didn't get too many. Wish me luck.

Hi David! It is hard to tell from the camera angle but the hole we pre-dug was in fact about 8" deep. We hope you're enjoying a fabulous autumn season and happy gardening to you. ~pam~

Those didn't look like they were planted 8 inches deep. Did you end up adding more soil on top?
