Planting Auger
Additional Information
How we planted tons of flowerbulbs into the lawn around our warehouse:
- Mow the grass as low as possible.
- Use the Planting Auger to drill holes into the sod (appropriate depth depends on plant species), in irregular clusters for a naturalized look.
- Drop in 1–2 Tbsp Vegemighty per hole.
- Set the bulbs in the holes, upright!
- Backfill holes with VT Compost Perennial Blend or aged compost.
- Spread a bit more Perennial Blend or compost (up to 1" thick) to cover the remaining grass in the cluster area.
- Cover the area with your preferred mulch (Buckwheat Hulls or organic straw) and then wait patiently for spring!
