Default Planting Depth for improved growing

I just thought I would post this article for general information, as the topic of planting depth recently came up in another thread with not many views.

Although I can't test it, it might well be worth it to see how much you can also increase hardiness in colder areas by planting deeper than normal.

interesting gab when i planted my corms i tried to plant them at the previous planting depth but the 60cm corms seam to out preform the shallower planted corms i could see all sorts of advantages particularly for people living in extreme climates cold and heat thanks for the article
