Default Re: cover all the bases
Is it so hard for you to look up? You have Idiom explanations on this site... Don't just sit and pray for it to come by itself....

Anyway since you are a bit lazy (:D), it means that you deal with all aspects of a situation or issue, or anticipate all possibilities.
