Do your bulbs rot before they ever bloom? You might be committing the second deadly sin of bulb planting — poor soil drainage! 💀
When water sits around your bulbs, it suffocates roots and invites rot. Healthy bulbs need loose, well-drained soil to thrive through winter and burst into color come spring.
💧 Master Gardener Tip: Mix in compost, perlite, or coarse sand to improve drainage — and never plant bulbs in low, soggy spots.
This is #2 in our “7 Deadlies of Bulb Planting” series from The Celtic Farm, where we uncover the most common mistakes gardeners make (and how to fix them).
