Loved watching the different ways to plant bulbs in pots and then covered with moss from your garden. I had no idea one could plant bulbs without soil in a glass container to watch the roots grow. Good idea. Great collection of pots too. The potted bulbs will surely lift your spirits during the bleak winter season. Please share when they bloom!
Haha I have a dog like that. Eww! I've tried tupils in pots for several years. The first two years I kept in the garage, with no extra moisture, and they rotted, so the following year I tried them in urns on the front porch, only slightly covered by the overhang, and they rotted. This year, I'm trying them under the porch, so they will get no moisture except what I give them. We'll see how it goes. Funny enough, they grew fine in the ground with standing water (clay soil) most of the winter one year (but then the bunnies get them). Looking forward to seeing your results. Thanks for sharing!
@@Barbara-yj5tl The idea of placing paper white narcissi in a glass container with just gravel, stones or glass beads is that the nutrients the bulb needs are contained in the bulb itself and the roots grow through the stones/glass beads, taking up the water which sits just below the level of the bulb (crucial so the bulb isn’t sitting in water which would cause it to rot). The sides of the glass vase support and hold up the leaves and flowers, instead of the roots anchoring the plant in the soil as it normally would. That’s the idea, let’s see if it works!
Hi, did you water the pots with the glass pebbles in them as well? I know it’s a daft question but new to all of this but really keen to get going. Great video, thanks.
@@Barbara-yj5tl I have put lots of bulbs in the area (150) but each is spaced around 10cm apart. The reason I put them tightly together in a pot but further apart in the garden is that over time they will naturalise and multiply in the garden setting which they won’t have the opportunity to do in a container.
Great ideas and inspiration!
Thanks for your bulb planting video. It’s inspiring me to get some of this done.
Loved the moss idea!

Quedó muy bien 🎉
You are going to have so many beautiful planters with bulbs! Oh no Murphy, peacock pooh, yucky!

You are inspirational!!
@@jeanioneill6610 oh that’s lovely! Thank you
Love Spring bulbs those containers are going to look great .💐
I love the teapot idea! I have a cracked one and now I know just what to do with it. Hope Alastair’s healing is continuing well.
Thank you, he is doing very well indeed
@@MurphysGardenSo glad to hear it.
Lovely use of containers. Why doesn’t the oblong glass vase have any compost though ? Thanks!

I’m confused. Why was only one daffodil bulb put into each hole in the garden? I thought more bulbs would give a better display? Cheers!
