It's the perfect yard decor, and by building one for the school auction, I could build one for myself at the same time! ;-) Here are the abbreviated instructions for how I built my magical wis…

I’ve had these onion nets saved for quite some time now, working on the theory that I’ll find a use for them eventually.

Lasagna bulb pots are fantastically easy to do and provide weeks and weeks of fabulous spring flowers. Start with a deep pot and make sure that it will withstand the winter weather. A terracotta pot should be raised up on feet to protect it. Ensure your pot has drainage holes and that they are not blocked. I suggest placing broken plant pot or polystyrene over the hole. Add a thick layer of compost (approximately 4 inches). Then lay out your tulips, making sure they are the corre…
