That sounds like a lot of work. There's not enough of me to go around so I'm always looking for ways to simplify what I need to do.

I started off 16 years ago with three bulbs of California White from one of the local hippie food stores. They were about half the size of the bulb pictured below. I saved back the best bulbs for planting and now almost every bulb comes out near the size of a baseball.

Not much more than what you do for planting your rows.

digging the trenches is a lot of work, but adding the bone meal and fertilizer etc isn’t.

Then I bury them as as I do a row, I put down landscape fabric and do the next one.

It’s such an easy way to keep the weeds down.
