    Hi,
    I've been busy popping some bulbs in. Some of these beds i've previously mulched with bark chips to keep weeds down (no fabric though). Will this stop crocus, daffs, snowdrops coming through?

    Cheers

    I am sure it will be OK Exlabman. Plants have a remarkable ability to push things aside, though fabric, which can't be pushed aside, would be a problem.

    No, bark alone will not stop bulbs coming through.

    They should look all the better for it.
