Bark Mulch: Bulb growth

[Deleted User] · 2022-10-30 11:34:07

Hello, I've planted a lot of crocuses, snowdrops and tulips in a flower bed. I'm planning to put a layer of bark mulch down for weed suppression. All the advice online suggests there should be no problem for the bulbs pushing through but just wanted to check if anyone here can confirm same? Thanks.

I think you should just put a thin layer on your foil. If you teach too much, it will prevent your ability to grow plants.
