Dig the soil up to a depth of 12 inches. Remove weeds and rocks. Break up soil clumps and loosen the soil. Spread 1 inch of peat moss on top of the planting area. Work this into the soil to the depth of 12 inches.
Best Soil type for growing bulbs: Most Spring flowering bulbs are best planted in a freely draining soil. You can raise/mound up the garden beds to improve drainage.

Guide lines for planting your Spring flower bulbs in pots: 1  Keep the bulbs away from the outer edges of the pot which get very hot. 2  Water regularly to keep soil slightly moist.
