Will 3 Inches Of Mulch Prevent Tulip And Daffodil Bulbs From Growing

Question From: R. Nesslyk - WASHINGTON
Q: I have a lot of tulip and daffodils bulbs I planted last fall, they came up wonderfully, now the flowers are gone and I have weeded and cleaned up the flower beds to just dirt. I want to put colored wood chips in the beds about 2-3 inches thick beginning in September but not sure if it will destroy the bulbs for next spring. is it ok. ??

A: The bulbs will push their way through the mulch next spring. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
