Quck q on mulching over emerging shoots

borgadr · 2021-12-19 10:25:41

Good morning! I'm mulching some if my borders with well-rotted manure. Where I have shoots emerging from spring bulbs, should I mulch around them or is it OK to cover them? Example in the pic below.. snowdrops I think. I also have early daff shoots emerging.

I'm also leaving a lot of the stems; only if they flop over do I cut them off now. Some stuff is still in flower down here - salvias (just about), rudbeckias..
I'm mulching a good 2-3 of inches, but much less over visible bulb shoots.
