Rosalind Rosewarne replied to Phil Voice's discussion Mobilane works with reserachers and clients to highlightbenefit of well designed green spaces in the group Garden Design Group"Very interesting. One suspects cost benefit analysis will be a key element of whether it's 'affordable' in the long run.

Simon Smith replied to Rosalind Rosewarne's discussion Bulb Planting in a lawn"Take some spare bolts cable ties etc as the planter will almost certainly begin to fall apart after a few hundred unless its lovely ground.

"Would strongly recommend you water the area well the previous day to soften the soil ( unless you're lucky enough to have uncompacted soil under the turf :-)"
Rosalind Rosewarne replied to Rosalind Rosewarne's discussion Bulb Planting in a lawn"I have a long handled version with a foot plate (you tread on the foot plate and it acts like a spade) so not so hard, just time consuming

"same as Gary's wrecking bar. Your right though, you will be left with pock marks on the lawn but they are easily dealt with a sprinkling of grass seed. 500 bulbs will be a hard shift on your knees with hand bulb planter though, and your wrist…"
Rosalind Rosewarne replied to Rosalind Rosewarne's discussion Bulb Planting in a lawn"Umm, what's a pinch bar :)
"
Rosalind Rosewarne replied to Rosalind Rosewarne's discussion Bulb Planting in a lawn"Not sure I am understanding how the chisel point/demolition bar is helpful in a lawn situation, I'm thinking the method is to leaver a hole, plant bulb and back fill with soil?

Rosalind Rosewarne replied to Rosalind Rosewarne's discussion Bulb Planting in a lawn"The turf stripping was simply to allow the turf to stay in tact and then plant, normally under it before relaying it. But am thinking the long handled bulb planter is probably the way to go
"
Simon Smith replied to Rosalind Rosewarne's discussion Bulb Planting in a lawn"Turf stripping doesn;t work as it will never cut deep enough. 2'' is the most you'll get with even quite a large cutter.

"We had the same need last year and I was given some great advice by others on here..We ended up using a 6ft chisel point wrecking bar to create the planting holes. Much easier then spending hours on knees. Bulbs planted and back filled with soil."
