Keep hungry critters from snacking on your freshly planted flower bulbs.
1. After planting, stake poultry netting over the bed. You can either remove the cloth in the early spring or let plants grow through the holes and leave it throughout the growing season.
2. If you want to hide it, just cover with soil or a light layer of mulch.
It is a good idea to clean up the planting site when you are finished, because any bulb debris—like the papery tunics that fall off the bulbs—can attract the squirrels.
