Question
pbody,
Here is the plan on how most major botanical gradens plant large numbers of bulbs in small areas.
Dig your 40 x 10 area about 6" deep and remove and place the soil to the side. Now you can place each tulip in whatever pattern or grouping you want in the dug-out space. Sprinkle some bone meal, no fertilizer. Carefully replace the soil so as not to disturb your patterns.
This sounds like it will be fabulous next spring.
Good luck
Gary
