Till the soil, pile 1.5" of sand on top, sprinkle dolomite lime and bone meal generously, and till it in. Organic matter is also helpful. I always form my soil into raised beds. You can get improved soil nearly a foot deep that way. The range of plants that will grow in sandy loam soil is amazing. > > Tulips do best in full sun. No water in Summer. A light sprinkling of 5-10-10 fertilizer or bone meal is very helpful in early Spring. People say bone meal isn't good, but my bulbs love it. Apply more lime every year. > > Here is a photo of a group of Colchicums in Fall of 2010.
