My sunny border is already fairly well stocked and I mulched it with cocoa shells back in March. This makes planting out new specimens quite difficult as (a) there's little room to work with a spade and (b) the cocoa mulch tends to crack and break,even if I use a trowel. So today I hit on a bright idea. I used a bulb planter down it's full depth, back filled with compost and bonemeal to the required depth and then popped the plants in. It worked a treat. :D

Clever stuff G, is your bulb planter the hand model or the tall one? :D
I used cocoa shell mulch once ten years ago. The garden reeked of chocolate for a day or so, then the wind came and blew it all over Hertfordshire >:( ;)
LOL SS, you are supposed to water it down!!!
