I use Peat Moss to "fluff" up the bed and to aerate the soil as I have a minor clay issue. I do not use Bone Meal at all. Way back over 20 years ago I used it exclusively for Daffodils, Tulips, & crocuses. I put the Peat Moss in every time I turn the bed over (which is when I clear it out when it gets too crowded which can be as short as three years or as long as 6 years).
Otherwise I just apply a fertalizer every Spring and have recently started to add Alphalfa Meal in the Spring as well. I do not have enough data to go one as to the Alphalfa meal to make any recommendation.
