I created a series of grids 8 feet by 8 feet and knew I had to plant at least 250 to 300 bulbs in each grid. ... I used a bulb auger attached to a power drill to dig the hole and dropped in three to four bulbs. Arnold, aren't the bulbs all on top of one another? Or did you make the holes very wide? Or do they push each other around until they eventually get to be shoulder-to-shoulder do you think? Cathy Craig pres PBS Maritime zone 9b
