Preparing the Flower Bed

Flag the position for the tubers 30 inches apart throughout the bed using a yardstick (or tape measure) as a guide.

Dig a shallow hole for each tuber and sprinkle in a handful of fertilizer. The hole should be only slightly deeper than the height of the tuber it will hold.
