Do it right and do it once. Bulbs require a well-drained soil to flourish. After digging the hole, add one-part organic matter to every four parts of soil. Be sure to note the correct depth for the bed and then loosen and enrich the soil at least four inches below that for good healthy roots. Properly preparing the bed for your new bulbs will pay dividends in years to come.
