Bulb Planting -
If you want a sea of daffodils and tulips next spring, you’ll have to plant them in the fall. And if you’ve got a lot to plant, we’ve discovered a simple, fast way to do it. You’ll need a hand drill, a bulb auger and a shop vac. First drill a series of holes to the proper depth with the drill and auger - mark the auger to the right depth. When drilling the holes don’t worry if some dirt falls back in. Then vacuum all the dirt out of the holes. Place a bulb in each hole, pointy end up. Then empty the dirt of of the vacuum cleaner and rake it around to fill the holes. You can plant dozens of buls an hour this way, without the usual backbreaking tedium.
