It is perfectly fine to leave bulbs in pots all year round. In fact, many people choose to do this so they don't have to worry about replanting them every year. However, you will need to take some extra care of the bulbs if you choose to do this. Make sure to water them regularly and fertilize them every few months to keep them healthy.
Many bulbs come back every year, including daffodils, tulips, lilies, and hyacinths. Other bulbs, such as those used for gladioli and dahlias, are not as hardy and may not survive the winter.
No, you don't need a special tool to plant bulbs. A spade or trowel will do the job just fine. Bulbs are best planted in the fall, so they have a chance to establish themselves before winter.

Halfway through October, it's still warm and rainy, making this year difficult. As a result, bulbs have been left in the garage for some time. This also means that I have over 200 bulbs to plant, mostly tulips and some fritallaria, because I forgot I had twice bought bulbs. A lot. Digging 200 holes approximately 6" deep in this clay-rock-contained soil would be difficult, to say the least. I believe someone mixed concrete into my yard at some point.I connected this to my drill and started using it. It really did take me an hour, or an hour and a half. Without complaining, this thing crunches through any soil. It didn't have any issues when it ran into rocks or roots. A couple more suggestions:Make sure your drill can be readily turned around. With heavy soil on top, you won't be able to pull this thing out; instead, you should reverse back out. Although I just scooped by hand, you might want to use a spade to clean the hole you just drilled. It's a joke that there might be a tiny, magical pile of earth next to the hole.Don your glasses. While performing so, some material was thrown up in my face; nevertheless, it's possible that my drill was too powerful at the time (see below). Take care not to poke yourself in the eye with a stone.When using a strong drill, take care not to go too deep because the moment the drill itself touches the top of the soil, the engine will start to burn out. In fact, instead of using my pricey hammer drill for this project if I did it again, I'd probably buy a cheap cordless drill.Additionally, avoid using a hammer drill because one that is too powerful will just ram through the ground and will wrench your arm if you delve too far. Ow. :)

The hefty gauge steel used in the auger's construction and the shaft's robust welds allowed it the strength to bore through both loose dirt and compacted clay soil. The auger has a thick coat of paint that will assist prevent corrosion. There is nothing about this auger that I dislike, and I would advise people looking for a good auger at a fair price to buy it.

I've always used one of those horizontal-handled, cone-shaped hand-held bulb planters. took an eternity, and my soil is rough. I said, "No way," and "I'll try this bulb planter," after placing my order for several hundred bulbs. I regret not purchasing it years ago! You can quickly plant one hundred bulbs without getting on your knees! The actual beauty is that after you dig the first hole, the earth from that hole is still in the planter. Just lay out your planting pattern and start digging the holes. The soil from the previous hole is pushed out like a cylinder and falls next to the hole you just created when you dig the next one. After finishing, return to the first hole and fill it with soil from the previous hole to use in the first hole (I see confusion about this in the reviews). Therefore, once all of the holes have been made, insert the bulbs, then the dirt cylinder that emerged from the hole (I prefer to insert the bulb first, but that's just me). It beats kneeling and trying to use a hand digger to auger your way through stony soil (or any dirt) to use leg force and body weight! Digging a hole while standing and moving takes around 2 to 3 seconds every hole. Don't mess with trying to remove the soil; it will be ejected next to the next hole you dig, so simply keep moving. The only little issue is that the tip's end bowed in my rough soil. I use pliers to straighten it, but I wish the maker had used stronger steel.

The first week of December 2018 marked my first use of this bulb planter. Although we don't typically experience temperatures that low in Washington, the day I planted, it was in the low '30s, and the overnight low was in the upper '20s. This was a terrific tool. Similar tools that I had previously used would bend under the weight of my driving into the ground, but this one did not. The bulb planter did not bend, even though I had to put all of my weight on it to get it to cut the soil's surface. Additionally, you may quickly release the dirt by squeezing the handle. I wish I had bought this tool before the ones I had in the past, which ultimately failed. Very durable.

The finest $20 I ever paid on gardening equipment! Bulb planting is made so much simpler by this handy device. With these tools, I was able to plant around 300 bulbs in the past week, even when working around tree roots. I used the bulb planter to get started and the space to dig around the roots.The holes in the bulb planters are the ideal size for a few large bulbs (I can put three daffodils) or a collection of smaller bulbs (I can fit 5 or 6 crocuses or grape hyacinths.)I merely need a device to speed up time because I'm eager to view our blooms in the spring.

I was unsure if this auger would be adequate for the task because my yard is full of rocks. It was. My electric drill worked perfectly fine, but my 12-volt rechargeable drill was not powerful enough. In particular, if the auger blade becomes impaled on a rock, a reversible drill is essential. You can't just pull, but backing it out is simple.The auger worked best when I left the point in the hole and gently adjusted the top portion to create a hole that was somewhat conical in shape.I discovered that I could alter the drilling angle and get past larger rocks. Many of the smaller rocks were actually brought up and spewed out around the edges by the screw motion of the auger. Because of recent rains, my soil was loose; I doubt it would work well in dry or hard soil. You would doubtless be unable to drill through any big rocks.I sowed bulbs of daffodils. You should generally use a wider diameter for larger bulbs. This auger worked well for holes that were 6-7 inches deep; longer shafts are required for deeper holes.The auger had been used to drill roughly 90 holes and had encountered many rocks, but it had sustained no damage.

This is the right tool if you need to poke holes in the ground. These dibblers performed excellent for planting many hundred shallot and garlic sets. Even though our land had just been tilled, these performed as we had hoped. They are reliable and convenient to use. They are plastic, and they most likely won't last forever, but considering the cost, I'd happily buy tools that are exactly the same in their place. Some people might prefer the stainless steel and wooden units costing several times as much as these inexpensive pokers, but I believe that these offer the best value for the money.

The best tool I've purchased in a very long time is this auger. To you, it is quite simple. Drill holes for bulbs and bedding plants by simply inserting it into your cordless drill. I've used the auger for bedding plants so far, but I'm really looking forward to fall so I can plant many tulips! Please note check the torque on the drill. You will need to adjust it. Because there is a 24" shaft you can stand up-no kneeling, no getting up and down to plant a row and quickly. One thing to note is that it doesn't do well in soil that is filled with roots but does work in hard soil.

Pro: Effective on extremely dry, hard soil (way better than a pick and shovel).I anticipate a sturdy screw blade lasting many years.It takes some time for it to take hold, but once it does, it does so quickly.The screw blade is sufficiently open to self-clear.Cons: Wish the shaft's drill end were constructed of a tougher grade of steel because it can distort (strip from hex to round) if the drill chuck becomes loosened while the torque is applied to it at an excessive level.Users are advised to utilize a quality direct-geared, low-speed, high-torque, AC-powered 1/2 inch drill or better with extension handles when working with particularly hard soil using this auger.A light 1/2 inch hammer drill is not something I would suggest using with this auger since the internal clutch could slip.For any auger use, I wouldn't advise using a high-speed, low-torque drill, or a 3/8- or 1/4-inch drill.In order to achieve a better grip and reduce torque on the auger, try first breaking up the soil with a pick or hitting it with a concrete demolition spike bit in a 1/2-inch electric hammer drill in hammer only mode for particularly hard soil (and yourself).Desires:I would prefer a longer shaft so I wouldn't have to stoop over so low.I wish a 4 inch was available.

My best purchase ever for bulbs. I plant them so much more quickly and simply. I did spend a few years improving my soil so that some sections aren't difficult to dig in. places still need to be fixed. My property features a cliff and numerous ledges. So as you dig, be prepared to drag out some sizable boulders or rocks. Some of the rocks I used to construct walls; however, I was too exhausted to construct any more walls and instead began tossing the rocks into an area where I had been filling in the land for years to lessen the drop-off.
When it comes to watering bulbs in pots over winter, the general rule of thumb is to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, if your pot is unglazed (like terra cotta), it will dry out faster, so you'll need to check it more often. Second, if your pot is in a sunny spot, it will also dry out faster. Lastly, if your pot is on the small side, it will dry out faster than a larger pot. With all that said, be
When planting bulbs, the general rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth that is three times their height. So, for example, if you have a bulb that is two inches tall, you would plant it six inches deep.
Daffodil bulbs should be planted about 6-8 inches deep and 12 inches apart. If you are planting them in a pot, make sure the pot is at least 12 inches deep.
If your bulb planter is made of a material that can get wet, such as plastic, metal, or ceramic, you can use soapy water and a brush to clean it. If your planter is made of a material that cannot get wet, such as wood, you can use a dry brush to remove the dirt.
To plant daffodil bulbs with a bulb planter, first dig a hole in the soil that is twice as deep as the bulb. Next, insert the bulb planter into the hole and twist it to loosen the soil. Then, place the bulb in the planter and pull the handle to close the planter. Finally, place the bulb planter in the hole and push the handle down to plant the bulb.
If you want to use a garden bulb planter, the first thing you need to do is make sure that the planter is the right size for the bulbs you want to plant. Once you have the right size planter, you need to fill it with soil. Once the soil is in the planter, you can start planting your bulbs. Make sure to plant the bulbs with the pointed end up. Once all of the bulbs are in the planter, you need to water them.
