If you have a lot of Daffodils to thin, and don't mind losing a few bulbs, an easy way is to spear a clump in a few places with a fork or spade, and wiggle it back and forth. You'll definitely lose a few bulbs doing this, but I found by accident a few years ago, that it does the job re-invigorating old clumps that had stopped blooming as heavily.


By the time of die-back my beds are so full that I rarely tramp through them to thin my clumps, so when would be the best time to do this?

No blooms here yet, but I'm starting to see a few buds.
