How to make a bulb garden
Test your soil to see if it is slightly acidic.
Bulbs grow best in slightly acidic soil, which has a ph between 6 and 7. You can test the soil by using a kit from a home improvement store.
Scoop a small sample of soil into the kit's vial, then add the included chemical to complete the test. If your soil needs to be adjusted, you can find amending substances at most gardening centers.
