10 Cool Things to Do With Your Drill

Step 4 Plant Spring Bulbs

I love crocuses. I planted them scattered in my front lawn. As long as the squirrels don't get them all, they should be very pretty this spring. My front yard is very compacted.It's almost impossible to dig a hole.

I attached an auger bit to my drill. (We have one that came with our termite poison kit, about 1.5" in diameter)
In less than an hour, I planted 1000 bulbs. Super easy!


Just drill a hole in the ground. I found it best to pull up, while drilling down, gets all the dirt out of the hole. Drill down a few inches, repeat, put the bulbs in all the holes, and cover them up. Done!
