I feel your pain. This technique will only work with small bulbs, like muscari, crocus, etc. Rake over the area where you want them planted, scraping off mulch, grass, plants etc. Water it well (or wait til after rain).
Toss the bulbs randomly onto the scraped patch, toss around whatever nutrients you're using. Cover the bulbs with mulch (finer mulch is better than coarse). Cover with mesh, fencing, whatever to prevent animals from eating the bulbs. THEORETICALLY, these tiny bulbs will plant themselves. All spring bulbs have contractile roots that will pull them down into the soil to their optimum planting depth. I have tried this method with muscari and species crocus and it does work, but I don't think I got 100% of the bulbs to actually plant. I wouldn't risk this with valuable bulbs, but muscari grows like weeds here, so I toss the bulbs around with blithe abandon.

Thanks for the tip Annie. This is a first heard for me. I don't think any of the techniques I've tried over the years are any easier than the other. They are all tedious It is just picking which one I feel like doing at any given time. I think the bulb auger on the long shaft is probably the method I'll mostly use from here on out. Drilling 50 holes goes pretty fast, so in this case it is getting the bulb in the hole that is taking time. Maybe the soil this time around is just too dry which is making it constantly refilling the hole I just augered??? I may try thoroughly wetting it down first and see if that makes it better or worse.

You need to have a planting party!
