Perhaps one of nature's greatest miracles is the flower bulb. it goes into the ground as a crusty brown bulb, and over the course of four to five months bursts through the soil and becomes a beautiful blooming flower. And who doesn't love to see daffodils or tulips and other flower bulbs in their full-blooming glory? For many of us, it's the first sign that spring has truly arrived.

plant now for spring color

Tulips, crocus and daffodils are the traditional standby bulbs. But for those who like the unusual, there are many spectacular varieties to choose from. They can be layered in containers or in your flower bed so that the colors just keep popping up. It's best to consider how many layers (or rows) you want to plant and work, from low bulbs in the front of your planting bed (or outside edge of container) and then gradually increase the height towards the back of the bed (or inside of the container).

Three bulbs need to be chilled for 4-6 weeks prior to planting in order to replicate their natural native growing environment. These include crocus, hyacinth and tulips. Simply place them in a paper bag in the back of your refrigerator and do not remove until your holes are dug and you are ready to plant. Drop them into their holes and cover them immediately.

bearded iris

Two spring-blooming bulbs that perform better on their own are bearded iris and amaryllis bulbs. Bearded iris re-produce themselves and spread out over time, so give them lots of room. The giant Dutch amaryllis perform better forced indoors in containers where their beauty can be enjoyed without venturing outside.

Lilies, narcissus and hyacinths need to be planted in the fall as well. Don't forget that hyacinths and Oriental lilies are fragrant. Plant them where your nose as well as your eyes can appreciate their beauty.

So don't be disappointed when your neighbors have beautiful flower bulbs popping up in their gardens next spring and you have bare ground. Plan and plant ahead! Choose your bulbs now and plant in the fall to see the beauty of their blooms in spring.

Dr. Earth Super Natural Lawn Fertilizer

Dr. Earth Super Natural Lawn Fertilizer is a superior, homogenous blend of fish meal, fish bone meal, feather meal, potassium sulfate, alfalfa meal, calcium sulphate, seaweed extract, micorrhizae and beneficial soil microbes.

This is a wonderful fertilizer. Dr. Earth promotes a hardy root system, thereby adding life to your lawn. It also controls thatch build up. Best of all, it contains mychorrizae that grow in your soil, greatly enhancing the quality of environment for the soil that your lawn grows in.

de Benefits
  • Controls thatch build up by digesting thatch (the organic debris layer produced by grass roots, stolons, and blades). This layer is located between the vegetative layer and the soil layer.
  • Adds life to lawns by providing a broad spectrum of beneficial soil microbes plus three micorrhizae strains. This ensures nutrients are made available to the grass roots more effectively and at a steady rate, even under stressful conditions (such as drought, low nutrient availability, poor soil structure, etc.).
  • Promotes a hardy root system in two ways. First, it stimulates roots to grow deeper in the soil to absorb the organic nutrients made available by Super Natural. Second, micorrhizae develop a symbiotic relationship with the grass roots, causing the root system to expand tremendously. With an expanded root system, more nutrients and moisture are available.
  • Fast results, plus continuous feeding for up to three months.
  • 100% natural and organic.
  • People and pet safe.

Use to feed:
Newly seeded lawns, newly laid sod lawns, cool season grasses, warm season grasses, St. Augustine, fescue, and blue grass.

An 18 pound bag covers 2000 square feet.
