I have been planning on putting a path around a large tree in my yard and
have been waiting for the daffodils to die down before moving them. Well,
yesterday I dug up *all* of the ones in my way and I literally have
hundreds and hundreds of white daffodil bulbs. I have a couple of questions.
Is there any way to plant a lot of daffodil bulbs quickly--am I better off
digging a huge trench, many holes, or is there some clever gadget that
takes all the work out of it (eternally hopeful)? Looking for suggestions.
Also, now that I have a nice path, I started laying landscape fabric prior
to covering it with mulch and am wondering about this. There is a slight
incline, so should I skip the landscape fabric to avoid the mulch "washing"
off, or will the mulch work if it is put straight on the dirt? Also, how
to hold the edges of the path?
How long can I wait before getting the bulbs in the ground?
Finally, I have a picture of a swath of daffodils surrounding a rock
outcropping--but--no rock. Can a rock be "made" from cement to look like
it is real? and is there a reference?
Lots of possibilities and uncertainty in my yard this week!
