IrisLilli said:If I know I will be digging up specific bulbs for summer storage (most of my tulips stay in the ground all year) I make sure to plant them in a bulb basket.

You can also make some yourself from fine chicken wire. (Think small gopher baskets!)
Having your bulbs in bulb baskets makes the process of planting and digging them up much, much easier and reduces the risk of damaging the bulbs or leaving any behind.
I use a 'large garden fork' to lift the baskets.
