How To Plant 100 Tulips in 30 minutes

Tips, Tricks

1. I have 1200 spring bulbs on the way. I was wondering if Julie would like to come and help me plant them. She'd certainly brighten up my bed!
2. So, how did it turn out? Did 100 bulbs flower?
3. I have a lot of shale, maybe 5 inches of natural top soil here in pa. I use a post hole digger and dig down 8 inches. But the frost pushes the shale up into the flower bed. It really sucks. After two seasons the flower bed is all shale again. It's fight I can't win . Every other year I'm out there with buckets of shale popping up that must be dug out.
4. What is the website that you order your bulbs from in the neatherlands?
5. Why don't these adverts for bulbs think ahead-- film planting in the fall, then film flowering in the spring and THEN publish the video so we can see how well it all worked.
6. Beautiful energetic and efficient
7. To plant in arcs in my lawn, I used a reciprocating saw to cut divots into the turf, into which I inserted the bulbs.
8. Гениально
9. is this a commercial? relax with the sponsored content please
10. Ah, I'm awaiting delivery of 100 tulip bulbs in the next week or two. I got excited until I realised that I've got clay soil in my back garden. It's going to be a pain in the neck. She's lucky to have such good soil.
11. beautiful black soil
12. She obviously takes too many happy pills ..
13. 'omg becky, look at her butt' some ppl watching dis don't even have a backyard.
14. This only works in a bare plot- not like most people's with other perennials where you want to group 5 to 7 tulips to peek up in the spring in between your existing plants. I learned a great trick with a 4 inch diameter x 18 inch long piece of plastic PVC pipe. Loosen soil a bit, drive down the plastic cylinder (I whack gently w shovel sometimes) pull it out with the soil still in and put your bulb in the empty space at LEAST 6" deep if you don't want them eaten by squirrels or if you do want them to last several years ....tap soil out of the pipe back in place after a little bulb food on top and tamp down... My grandfather did this trick to quickly make deep holes without interrupting roots of other plants in the garden and it works great as long as u don't have heavy clay soil. In which case u need to amend anyway w peat and sand and compost if.want tulips to show yr. after yr. ....too shallow and they rot/freeze/get eaten. A lot of work the first yr. but done right will give u yrs. of blooms!
15. Nice
16. why not try iLOT Bulb Transplanter? It can save time dramatically and just need 10 minutes will OK!
17. I suggest putting down two inches of peat moss before you turn over the soil. That way you will get some organic matter down around the roots. Also, a long handled shovel will save your back. The better prepared the soil the more likely the bulbs will come back the second year. Garnish the finished plot with granular fertilizer and colored mulch.
18. hello sir....
    I want ask you something... one bulb saw this bulb birth more new bulbs. my question is one bulb birth hod many bulbs...
19. good tip. I'm Swedish and the american's always appear so over the top. she was very watchable though
20. Watch commercials on YouTube with awareness and some healthy skepticism. Here she advises planting only 5 inches deep. Well, yeah, if you want them to be less likely to grow and bloom the following season. This advice is a good way to sell more tulip bulbs. What I know is that most sites will tell you that the deeper you plant, the more likely they'll re-bloom the following year, and they usually say to plant considerably deeper than 5 inches. What I don't know for sure, but have a huge hunch, is that tulips are hybridized to NOT rebloom. However, Darwin tulips are said to rebloom with greatest consistency. In the old days, you planted tulips and they bloomed year after year. Good luck with today's tulips. Do research. Buy Darwins and plant deeper, following fertilizer recommendations.
