I have a sizable patch of ground in which nothing is planted except
for numerous bulbs - mostly daffodils. Unfortunately the same patch
is now also pretty well covered in weeds. Can someone tell me - can
I use a weedkiller (e.g. weedol) , without harming the bulbs (all this
year's foliage having died back, and been cleared away)?

In article <35a4c44...@betanews.mcmail.com>,

If all the top growth has gone, then applications of a
glyphosphate weed killer can do the bulbs no harm.
