As is well known, tulips, like other bulbous plants, are a favorite delicacy of rodents.
To protect plantings from pests, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises digging up and treating bulbs for the winter.
Alternatively, pack them in protective nets or baskets.
