Lawns planting cut a small section of turf fold back roughly break up the soil with a folk, and place the bulbs pointy end up, then simply roll back the turf.
Avoid mowing the grass for a couple of weeks untill the foliage withers and dies back naturally as the green leaves provide nourishment for the crocus bulbs. allow foliage to be left intact until it withers and dies back fully.
