If you want excellent results then buy and plant fresh bulbs each fall and plant in pots using potting soil that drains well. If you just want to save some money and not waste those bulbs you planted after they are done flowering transplant them into garden beds or even plastic nursery pots and let them ripen and the leaves turn yellow in some out of the way spot. As long as they have good drainage they will not rot. Then if only a few make it to flower the following spring that is a few more than you would have had tossing them out. Some varieties such as dwarf daffodils, muscari and hyacinth transplant well and return rather well. Those big bold tulips rarely do so treat them like annuals.
