Daffodils thrive in well-draining compost that is rich in organic matter. A mixture that includes peat, composted bark, and perlite or sand can provide the necessary drainage and nutrients. It's important to avoid overly rich or heavy compost, as daffodils prefer slightly alkaline to neutral pH levels. Ensuring good drainage will help prevent bulb rot and promote healthy growth.
Daffodils and carnations are totally different type of flowers from violets.
No, ericaceous compost is not suitable for hyacinths, tulips, and tete-a-tete daffodils, as these bulbs prefer alkaline to neutral soil conditions. Ericaceous compost is specifically formulated for acid-loving plants, such as rhododendrons and azaleas. Using it for these bulbs may hinder their growth and flowering potential. It's best to use a well-draining, general-purpose compost or bulb-specific mix for optimal results.
Daffodils do not need plant food. These are autotrophs and hence prepare their own food.
The best way to improve soil for gardening is to use compost. Plants need food and it is better to use compost than fertilizer as long as the compost is aged and the right type for the plant. Test your soil and know what you need.
A gritty compost which promotes drainage is the type of compost which an olive tree needs. The woody plant in question prefers a soil whose pH is in the neutral or slightly alkaline ranges. It requires proper infiltration and percolation of water and therefore needs grittiness to prevent waterlogging.

Daffodils should be planted about 6-8 inches deep in order to thrive.
Vermiform compost is a type of compost that is produced by redworms, white worms or earthworms. These worms consume organic waste and leave behind a rich compost.
Their really is not 'a best type of compost' it is really all the same. Any thick black compost is good for the lawn.
No need to cover them but they may need to be supported against 'falling over'
