5. Composting
Composting is one of the most important elements when you’re setting up your garden, and gardeners do this both for the benefit of their own gardens and often the larger benefit of the environment around them.
Composting helps you to cut down on the waste your house produces, and things that would normally have decomposed in the bin – and caused a smell throughout the house every time the bin is opened – can easily be mixed with soil and turned into organic compost that’s great for your garden.
When composting for tulips, it doesn’t have to be done often – about two times a year will do. More than this and you can mess with the natural pH of the garden too much, and the same is true if you’re mixing in too much compost versus soil.
Ideally, test the pH of the soil (neutral is best) before you plant and throughout the growth phase.
