| What you need: Bulbs Shovel Bone meal Different sized bulbs require different planting depths. By planting bulbs in layers, you can plant several different types of bulbs together. Dig a hole that is around three times deeper than the height of your largest bulb. |

| Add a little bone meal to the bottom of the hole. Arrange your largest bulbs in the hole in random fashion, being sure to space the bulbs properly. A good rule of thumb is to allow for a space of two to three times the width of the bulb in between each bulb. |

| Next, carefully cover the first layer of bulbs with soil. Add enough soil to provide the proper planting depth for the next layer of bulbs. |

| Add a little more bone meal to the soil, and arrange the next layer of bulbs in the hole. Try not to place them directly on top of the previous bulbs. |

| If you're planting in well-drained soil, a depth of 3 - 4 times the height of the bulb is recommended. If you're planting in heavy, poorly draining soil, a depth of 3 times the bulb is recommended. |
