When the flower beds are dominated by the bulbs planted in autumn, I know that it is time to transfer those blooming in summer to the ground. In spring I plant gladioli, irises, callas and some varieties of lilies.
Necessary tools
The onion planter helps me at work.When buying it, I paid attention to the thickness of the material it was made of.The thicker the metal, the easier the planter is to stick into the soil and the tool will not bend. Additionally, thanks to the measure, you can dig a hole to the desired depth.
Dressing
Before planting, I soak the underground parts of plants in a preservative that protects them from dangerous fungal infections.
Koszyki
I plant onions in baskets. If I run out of them, I use pots and plastic containers in which I cut holes for the roots and for drainage.I place the baskets in the ground at a depth three times greater than their volume.If I am not sure if the given depth is enough to protect against frost, I add an additional layer of soil.
Plant care
During the season, I care about the right soil moisture - I loosen it and fertilize it regularly. After the leaves have withered and dried, I dig out the bulbs and store them in a dry and cool place.
