Planting Bulbs in Heavy Red Clay: Auger and Amend

Clay requires physical amendment—no shortcuts. Use a bulb auger on an electric drill to drill holes, remove clay to wheelbarrow, mix 2 inches compost/conditioner per 10 inches clay, backfill 3 inches amended soil, place bulbs, cover with rest, mound slightly. Excess mix fills spring planting holes for later tilling.
