Vegetables on daffodil bed/ground.
« on: January 21, 2021, 11:15 »
Hello first post here

I think I have made an absolutely huge mistake.

Just before the bad weather set in in October I hadn’t gotten out to plant my sack of daffodils in the front so I put them in a bed I had completed prepping for following year. Now I have since found out they release alkaloids into the soil and other harmful compounds. Is there anything I can do to correct this or am I at a lose and should forget that bed?

Leo.

I have no info on your question but do know that once they have flowered you could dig them up & replant (a little deeper than they were) or heel them in somewhere out of the way, make sure you mark them well, and then in the autumn get them up & plant where you want them. When you heel them in if you bury them in a trench you can lay some chicken netting down first, then the bulbs, then cover with soil. Then in the autumn you can pull up the wire, bulbs & all, saves you losing any. :)

That's news to me, I know they are poisonous to eat, but never heard of them spoiling soil in any way.
Where did you 'find' the info?
