Planting Flower Bulbs Using Egg Cartons: A Simple Trench Method

Basic Process

  1. Dig a straight trench at the correct depth for your bulbs.
  2. Place empty cardboard egg cartons in the bottom of the trench.
  3. Set one bulb into each cup, pointed end up.

This creates neat rows, consistent spacing, and excellent root development conditions.
