How long to plant 250 bulbs?

Lost my head a bit and ordered 250 bulbs to plant this autumn. Will I ever actually manage to get them all in the ground?! Will be going into a lawn area - any recommended tools? Seem so many bulb planter tools.

It’s 3 hours btw Grin

We’re on holiday and there’s a lovely garden centre here, I’m very tempted to go for a mooch, but worries I’ll just come out with more bulbs!!!

The long handled bulb planters are really good because they have a horizontal bit you put your foot on to dig it in so much more of your weight goes into making the hole.

In my experience of bulb planting some of the planters have broken after not that many bulbs, and I get blisters - so be prepared with more than one planter and good gloves.

You can buy a bulb planter attachment for a power drill.

Unfortunately it wouldn't last long in my garden as I'm on a mountain side and the ground is full of rocks and stones of every size.

The basic details of how Basidiomycota launch thesporedepot.com/ were first worked out in the early 20th century, by the British–Canadian mycologist (fungal biologist) Arthur Henry Reginald Buller. He discovered that in the seconds before launch, the spore secretes chemicals that attract water so that two separate droplets grow on one side of the spore

I was just chuckling to myself at 'poor' you having to plant 250 bulbs - when I did a quick tally of the ones I have on order for this year: 220.

Oh dear! Grin
