lavender Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think you could put them in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Put them in now with a good dose of bulb food mixed in the soil and something like human hair to ward off the rodents who are still active and want a snack. The later you put them in, the less likely something will eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petee Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Blood Meal, human hair, urine, plant bulbs deeper and later in the season, use wire cages or a layer of small holed wire fencing. Put deterrants and bulb food in the hole with the soil at bulb depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petee Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Actually they send their husbands out to "sprinkle" the areas most visited by varmints. No standing still though! Just tell him to make sure it's dark and he has a good escape route! On the other hand you can buy coyote urine at the feed and hunting stores. You can also sprinkle used kitty litter in the bulb bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
