Title: Feeding bulbs?
Post by: star on May 06, 2010, 21:28:30
I was told you should give spring flowering bulbs a feed.......but what of? I knew once upon a time, but hey, memory failure time.

Any clues would be gratefully received. ;D

But Robert, don't the foxes then dig them up?  I've about sworn off bone meal for that reason.
Had to replant a bunch of them. :-[

I've never had a problem. Not many foxes about at the moment, they never really came back after the mange epidemic.
