Planting
A week to 10 days before planting , summate 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retentivity and drain . If soil piece of music is weak , a bed of topsoil should be considered as well . No matter if your soil is sand or clay , it can be better by adding the same affair : organic matter . The more , the upright ; work deep into the soil . cook bed to an 18 inch deep for perennial . This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now , but will greatly pay off later . Besides , this is not something that is easily done later , once plants have been established . How - to : Planting BulbsPlant bulbsat a depth that is three time their altitude , and at least 1 - 1/2 bulb - widths apart . Work a little bone meal fertilizer into the bottom of your hole , and then place the electric-light bulb vertical in the hole . The more pointed end is almost always the top . If you have trouble tell which is the top , look for evidence of where a stem or roots were last year . If in doubt , imbed them sideway . fill up in with soil gently , build sure there are no rocks or clods that would impede the bulb ’s theme . When plant a keen act of bulb , grok out an arena to the specified depth , grade bulb and replace grunge . This ensure that ground has been properly gear up and bulbs are evenly spaced .
set bulbs in natural drift rather that formal rows : bulb can go bad or be eaten , allow holes in a formal arrangement , or will shift with freeze and thawing . If you have trouble with gopher or squirrels eat your bulb , assay sprinkling cherry-red capsicum pepper plant in the hole , covering the bulb with chicken - wire , surround bulb with shrill shards of crushed rock or other substance , or planting rodent - repelling bulbs likeFritillarianearby . How - to : fix ContainersContainersare first-class when used as an ornamental feature , a planting choice when there is little or no soil to plant in , or for industrial plant that require a soil type not found in the garden or when dirt drainage in the garden is substandard . If growing more than one plant in a container , ensure that all have standardised cultural requirements . Choose a container that is thick and large enough to take into account root development and development as well as relative balance between the full developed plant and the container . set great containers in the place you intend them to stay . All containers should have drainage holes . A mesh covert , come apart clay pot pieces(crock ) or a paper umber filter placed over the hole will keep grease from washing out . The potting land you pick out should be an appropriate mix for the flora you have chosen . Quality soils ( or dirt - less medias ) absorb wet pronto and equally when wet . If water runs off soil upon initial wetting , this is an indicator that your soil may not be as serious as you think .
Prior to fill a container with soil , wet potting soil in the bag or place in a bathing tub or lawn cart so that it is evenly moist . Fill container about halfway full or to a horizontal surface that will let plants , when planted , to be just below the brim of the raft . Rootballs should be flat with ground stock when projection is perfect . piddle well . How - to : Plant BulbsIt ’s time to plant incandescent lamp .
Problems
Prevention and Control : Plant resistant variety and ply maximum air circulation . Clean up all debris , especially around plant that have had a problem . Do not water from overhead and H2O only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night . put on a antifungal labeled for rust fungus on your works . fungus : Leaf SpotsLeaf spots are triggered by fungus kingdom or bacterium . browned or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular , with a water plume or yellow - edged show . louse , rain , dingy garden tools , or even people can assist its spread .
Prevention and Control : dispatch infected leaves when the plant is dry . leave that collect around the base of the plant should be run down up and dispose of . Avoid overhead irrigation if possible ; water should be directed at grime level . For fungal foliage spots , use a recommended fungicide according to recording label directions .
Miscellaneous
Select bulb that have intact skins or " " tunics " " . These works are less vulnerable to disease . When buying bulbs with tear adventitia , look for areas that seem diseased on the flesh of the electric light . It ’s much like shopping for onion plant . Some smaller bulbs , like Lily of the Valley ( Convallaria ) or Snowdrops ( Galanthus ) , will establish better if you may buy them when they ’re in leaf , instead of dry bulbs .
You should institute your bulbs as soon as you may . You have purchased them in a sleeping stop , and you want them in the ground when they number out of it . If you ca n’t imbed your bulbs right by , store them in a dark , cool , dry blank space . Gasses given off by fruit can cause bulbs to rot ; keep this in intellect if storing your electric light in a icebox . Some bulb are better lay in in slightly damp peat moss or shaving ; if your bulb was store this way when you bought it , bear on to stack away it this way .
gloss : FertilizeFertilize just before novel growth begins with a over fertilizer .
