Oh yes I can attest to that. I do all my gardening without getting in my knees. My knees cannot take that. Actually, I plant a daffodil bulbs a week ago and I just took a shovel dug down lifted the dirt and threw the bulbs in. I wasn’t gonna get way down there and adjust them. I did that last year and they came up just fine.
I agree with the others about getting the Laura edition augurs- such a back-saver. Also, I’ve seen Laura use a larger auger to aug all the holes first, then go back and put the bulbs in, often multiple in each hole, so they’re in clusters, like in nature. Seems like a more efficient way, compared to August one hole for every bulb. I’m curious why you didn’t do that, or if you’ve seen it? Regardless, you and Brent’s hard work is going to pay off this spring when you have a beautiful show of blooms- can’t wait!
Hole-y moly you guys did a lot of work! The payoff is going to be incredible and I’m excited to see all of the fun colors peeking through the lawn! I found myself waving back at you at the end of the video. Instant smile for me! 😊🇨🇦
That is going to be beautiful when the bulbs come up. I can't wait to see them in bloom. I would not have the patience to put in all those bulbs and the blasted squirrels in my area would dig them up!
I used to have the squirrel problem here in Washington state, but now I've tried sprinkling some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or taco mix on top of the soil once tulips are planted. So far, it has worked, and the dang squirrels are not touching my tulips, lol. Just an idea to try.
I have found here in zone 6 that a bulb lawn will rebloom in subsequent years if you can leave the foliage in place after the blooms go by. Mowing before the foliage browns off is the surest way to kill the bulbs. Using bulbs that bloom extra early probably makes a lot of sense, as they will bloom and be gone before the lawn really needs to be mown.
Hi Robbie! That was a lot of work, but will be so pretty this spring. I'm glad Brent is feeling better and was able to help you. Teamwork makes things like this so much better. You two are so lucky to have each other. I'm glad your little auger held up for you. It was a great find. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the bulbs in bloom. Thank you so much for sharing!
I really like the idea of planting bulbs in the lawn. Thank you for the inspiration. I am definitely going to try that next year. 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz in California
So proud of you both for getting that many bulbs planted 🪻🌷🥀 It’s going to be so pretty before you know it. Will be a wonderful distraction as you continue destroying the back garden to rebuild it. When that is in the not so attractive trenching stage, you guys can take a break and enjoy the view from the front porch. Plus bonus, you just aerated your front lawn. 🎉😂 That’s backbreaking work for sure.
Hi Robbie - just curious. I may have missed a video where you talked about your front yard plans, but is the planting of bulbs in the lawn a new trend? Can’t wait to see it. It’s going to look like a wild meadow. So cool
Wow, I can't wait to see this in full bloom, it's going to be beautiful. Now you both need a hot bath and maybe a heating pad for your backs. Great job guys.
Robbie, have you ever tried slit trenching for bulb planting? I've only recently seen it but it looks like an easier way than digging trenches or augging holes.
I know it was a lot of work but totally worth it! I would think you would not have to do it again. I have been in my house 20 years and I have yellow crocuses that come up along the sidewalk to my front door every year I didn’t plant them the person who lived here before me planted them And it was probably someone long before the person just before me because that person didn’t do much gardening. they are planted in grass and come up every February. I live in Oklahoma and you can’t get much hotter and drier than that so if I were you, I wouldn’t touch them next year and just see what comes back. I bet they come back and they should multiply.
I want to do the same thing to our front yard but need to convince my husband. Can’t wait to see the fruits of your labor in the Spring….and show it to hubs.
This is going to be awesome Robbie and Brent, will be watching for the first blooms to come up in Spring. Are you guys getting any of the smoke from the fires up your way?
I DID THIS I MY BACK GARDEN ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO TS A RACE IN THE MORNINGS T SEE WHAT HAS COME UP PANTED ABOUT 2,000 BUBS INCLUDIG MANY DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SPECIES BULB AND MUSCARI IN MANY DIFFERENT COLOURS.
That is hard to watch! I know your done by now. When I have to be close to the ground I use a folding canvas seat camp stool. Can’t wait to see the pay off💕💕💕💕
Hi Robbie! Have you ever tried the knee pads that strap to your knees? They are great for when you need to move around a lot while working. I am using the same pair I received as a gift about 7 years ago, which is embarrassing 😅 I was inspired to order new ones when I saw your kneeling pad 😊
Bulbs have everything they need inside the bulb it is totally unnecessary to fertilize them. I like and use the tones but using them on bulbs is a waits of money…
You need to buy the Laura addition augers. So nice you don’t bend over. The older you get the more you appreciate not bending. Life changer.

Maybe we can suggest for Garden Answer to donate him the 2” auger. I’m sure he would give them credit online, just more viewers for every one. ♥️

Mine too

Wow, what a lot of work! Looking forward to seeing it bloom.
Can’t wait to see they all come up in the spring, it has to be beautiful
Lucky you, for having such a great helper

Tough day..will be magical in spring..plus they multiply..imagine in 10 years❤
Oh my goodness, that's so freakin awesome❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im in zone 9.(Texas) They don’t naturalize well.
I love seeing someone who can put Garden Answer inspiration into action in their space. It's going to look just like Laura's orchard! 😍
I cannot wait to see it.
Gonna be gorgeous!
Good job, guys! This is going to be so pretty!! 🪻🌷💚
I notice your metal edging is getting the rusted patina. I like the look!
It's gonna be GORGEOUS!!
It's going to pay off big when they bloom, Robbie! Glorious and you'll be loving it!
Great plan will be beautiful ❤
It's going to be beautiful ... !!!
And that was a labor of Love ! ❄️⛄️💚🙃
WOW...that was a job! Congrats on getting that done in a day with some help. It will be outrageous when they all bloom...can't wait to see it. 🤗🌿🌸🥀🌾⚘
Can’t wait to see it in springtime 😊
15 minutes!! You did good!! Lol. Can't wait to see all the pretty flowers when they come up.
This is going to be beautiful!!
Glad your new auger held up. The yard will be amazing in a few months.
When you have two gardeners and only one kneeling pad, try using a bag of soil to kneel on. It’s a little easier on the knees.
This is a time consuming and back hurting chore! You are going to be very happy when the bloom…totally worth it❤
Thank you Brent and Robbie. 🤗❄️⛄️💚🙃
It's going to be such a beautiful display. Can't wait to see them all bloomed out. Will they come back year after year? Thank you Brent and Robbie❤❤
Can’t wait to see it in full bloom
I, too, am so excited to see this! 🧡
I think that is going to be beautiful, can’t wait to see how it turns out!!!!
This is going to be beautiful ❤❤❤❤
I can't wait for them to all come up and be blooming.
team work! It will be so beautiful.
Oh my goodness, it's going to be amazing! Can't wait!😍 I wanted to this with my grass but my lawn needs a lot of work so thinking next spring. 😊
This will look so beautiful! I can't wait to see the end result!!
“Hex adjacent” 😂😂 That looked much easier than that digging implement you were using previously!
Can’t wait to see this!
It is going to be so pretty. I can’t wait to it.
Your videos are lovely. It makes me feel happy. Love from 🇹🇷🇳🇱
❤ free augar. Garden math 😆

I can’t wait to see it in bloom 🥰
I'm excited to see it in the spring. Living in southern TX, the spring bulbs do not come back for us. Our winters are too short and too wet.
It’s going to be so pretty. I wish I could do this in my yard. ❤
THAT will be so pretty. 🎉
Good morning wow a lot of balbs
.It will be pretty in spring. Can't wait until spring. So over snow and cold 🥶
Wonderful song ! I love your voice!
Man Robbie send us your rain here in So. CA. Love you channel. It is fun and open about what you don't know!
Wow, I can't wait to see this in full bloom, it's going to be beautiful. Now you both need a hot bath and maybe a heating pad for your backs. Great job guys.

Hi Jennifer! It’s Deanna😊

This is going to be spectacular! That was a lot of work, but great teamwork.
Can’t wait ❤😊
Good morning Robbie and Brent. I am excited to see how beautiful this turns out. 😍
My back and knees could NEVER! Do you ever get sore after projects like this?
Can’t wait to see the beautiful blooms!!🌸🌸🌸
I want to do the same thing to our front yard but need to convince my husband. Can’t wait to see the fruits of your labor in the Spring….and show it to hubs.
I love it! My yard is very small as well but I'm not physically able to do that work anymore. I cant wait to see the outcome!
This is going to be awesome Robbie and Brent, will be watching for the first blooms to come up in Spring. Are you guys getting any of the smoke from the fires up your way?
Oh I think it’s going to be amazing!!
This will be stunning! I can’t wait to see all the flowers
Robbie & Brent, Lots of work, but will be beautiful come spring!
You look like a pair of squirrels hiding nuts! 😅 Should be so pretty!
Cool idea.
Can’t wait to see the results
I have wanted to do that “toss and plant” but just haven’t done it. Maybe next fall
They will be blooming soon! It's gonna be gorgeous. I hit the like button! 😂

It’s going to be beautiful. ✨
Spring will be beautiful♥️♥️♥️. How close are y’all to the fires! Praying for everyone🙏🙏♥️♥️
Hex adjacent 😂😂😂
this makes me want to do a bulb lawn in my front yard! i am not sure how my back feels about it, though 😂
Lol. You're sooooo silly. (I love silly)😂
That is hard to watch!
I know your done by now.
When I have to be close to the ground I use a folding canvas seat camp stool.
Can’t wait to see the pay off💕💕💕💕

😊😊
Wow! will look amazing but that is labor intensive!
Did you say what kinds and colors of the bulbs?
Flowers look beautiful in a lawn but bulbs need approx. 6 weeks after flowering, to feed the bulbs for next year, before you mow the grass
❤
💕🌸😊👍
❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷❤❤
Hex adjacent ☠️😂
Why not just wear knee pads, they get up and go with you as you move around.
Bulbs have everything they need inside the bulb it is totally unnecessary to fertilize them. I like and use the tones but using them on bulbs is a waits of money…
