This is normally caused by too much nitrogen in the soil and not enough phosphorus. Manure and wood shavings are an excellent source of nitrogen but tends to lack significant amounts of phosphorus. By mixing bone meal fertilizer in with this, you have a more well balanced, organic fertilizer. So try adding some bone meal to the soil when planting root vegetables and this should help with the bulbing.
