I ordered a large box of mixed caladiums to plant out front under the big oak. The bed unfortunately was filled with lava rock by the previous owners, so I had to dig through about a four inch layer of rock in order to reach actual soil. I added potting soil to the hole because I had no soil to put in the hole. I covered the bulbs with potting soil and what tiny bit of soil I managed to sift from the pile of lava rocks. I had to use the pick do dig the holes, so after just making one big circle around the tree I stopped for the day. Now I have lots of smaller bulbs to be placed inside the circle, but they won't require as much digging per hole, just a lot more holes.
