hi will bulbs grow in ericaceous soil? I have a old holey wheelbarrow which I would like to plant heathers and bulbs. Or would I be better planting in two different sectioned soils

    Bulbs mostly don't mind, especially if it's daffs and tulips, but tulips require sharp drainage to do well, and daffs prefer a moister soil - generally speaking, so it would be worth checking on the requirements of the varieties you have. 
    Not all heathers need ericaceous soil either, so make sure you have the right conditions for them too.  :)
