Raised bed suggestions

Hi I have recently had a retaining wall built in my garden which has given me a 1mx15m raised flower bed leading into a 3x4m bed at the end.

I have planted 600 tulip and daffodil bulbs as an experiment to see how well they do (first time planting spring bulbs).

However I have been reading about tilling the soil and adding some additional drainage material as I’m unsure on the drainage of the soil.

As there is a lot of debris and rubbish in the soil I should of really done this first but I haven’t, so obviously if I were to do this after my bulbs flower then I would lose most if not all bulbs in the process.

Is it really that necessary?

Should I cut my losses, prepare the soil nicely and replant bulbs next year after nice summer display?

I’m new to this so learning all the time.

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Craig

 

If it were me, I wouldn’t worry too much. Not sure about Tulips, but Daffs are pretty resilient, just don’t cut down the foliage too soon after flowering, probably best to allow it (the foliage) to die down naturally.

 

Craigy16ed. A belated welcome to Gardeners Corner. Migh I respectfully ask. What is your goal in horticulture? Please. Trust me. I will help you all I can to reach your goal.

 

My aim is to plant it all up after bulbs have died back with plenty of contrasting colour, I don’t really want to have to replant the whole lot every year with colourful annuals so recommendations on colourful perennials and shrubs welcome aswell as annuals.

 

Ok thanks for your help I will take that on advice on board much appreciated. I have attached a couple of photos for you!

 

Haha It doesn’t look that good underneath trust me
