years on the trot now they havn't flowered. Am I putting the bulbs in to
deep? Help!

There are various reasons why Daffs do not flower, the most common is
planting them too shallow rather than too deep. Are you digging them up
each year? That would probably prevent them flowering, if you do not let
them die down naturally before moving them.

I would add some bone meal to the soil to provide your daffodils with
slow release Phosphorus. In addition, it's helpful to provide them with
a fertilizer that is high in Potassium and Phosphorus as a soil drench.
Don't cut back the foliage.

how much sun do they get each day?
do you cut the leaves off before they
turn yellow and dry out?
are they planted together really close?
are they overgrown with something else?
hard to plant too deep so i'd say that's
unlikely.
