In this section, I have neglected to use a bulb booster. The plot is very close to a maple tree and the roots take much of the nourishment from what ever I plant here. Faulty ground preparation is the primary error for most gardens. In this picture, I used bulb booster and extra meal. These tulips are growing in less that a foot of soil, over a concrete slab of an old coal bin.
Good soil accounts for their success.
These links will provide you with many hours of ground preparation information. A very interesting site. Canadians really know how to make the most out of a very short growing time. I applaud them and read as much as I can from their sites.
