Not at all necessary if you planted them at the proper depth.

I for sure planted them at the proper depth and made sure to dig farther down to loosen soil under them. I even measured everything. I also replaced most of my soil since i have alot of clay.

The only thing i was worried about is the new soil was fairly wet when i planted so i skipped the watering after planting the bulbs because i was afraid of it being too wet and rotting.

Thank you for your reply!

Depending on what you bought, it can be a mistake to remove soil and replace with bought stuff.

Maybe it's different where you are but here, one is likely to buy something totally unsuitable for a garden.

Usually you are better off to improve what you have rather than buy in stuff.

So... maybe, just to not have all your eggs in one basket, take some of your tulip bulbs out of where you planted them and plant these ones into a sunny part of your garden, where it is well drained.

Clay is a good start, but it needs improving. This is done over time by adding organic matter to it regularly. Clay has a lot of very good qualities, such as it can hold nutrients, as well as water. Nutrients are chemically bonded to clay. It's not the big bad thing it is often thought to be.

Regarding laying down some straw, the bulbs won't need it for protection from the cold but straw breaks down to give a lovely texture to soil. So, add some if you feel like it.

What bulbs are these? If we are talking the standard tulips and daffodils, the straw is not necessary. If we are talking some sort of exotic tropical bulb that is borderline in your area, maybe.
