weight lifting bulbs

Hello,this is my first time, be gentle with me. I put a load of daff bulbs in a fair while back, and then over the same patch I laid some turf in the hope that the daffs would push through. But alas, the daffs are not pushing through, but instead are physically lifting the turf up!! ANy suggestions as to how i can keep the turf down and get the flowers through???

 

Put a slit in the turf... :rolleyes: Works for me!

When you put bulbs in under grass / turf, to naturalise, the usual thing to do is to cut the turf, a T-shape in it, roll the turf back, plant the bulb and relay the turf - so you'd be getting to that situation if you do what I suggest. Just be careful not to cut the bulbs!!

Oh, and welcome, Bunslip! :D

 

Francis thanks for the tip and welcom Bunslip

 

Thanks for the advice! Ive got about 50 bulbs under this small patch of turf, so the patch will look pretty slashed up for a while I guess.Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

It's amazing how quickly grass can knit itself back up - but if we get very dry weather, keep watering it, so it doesn't dry up while it's sorting itself out, and getting roots re-established. It's more of a prob if you've had to roll it back, and I doubt if you'll get a prob.
