A Bulb Lasagne - Part 2: An Introduction to a Bulb Lasagne
Arthur explains every aspect of a bulb lasagne as he breaks it down layer by layer.
Bulb lasagnes are great for people with smaller spaces because you can use hundreds of bulbs. The bulbs represent lasagne filling, and the soil represents sheets of pasta. You can do three to four layers and maximise your tulips.
You should also think about your pot toppers. The more pot toppers you use, the fewer tulip bulbs you should use. Think about everything pushing upwards.
The smaller bulbs go higher up the bulb lasagnes and the larger bulbs go towards the bottom.
