We have been busy with fall chores and I keep forgetting to post.
All the dahlias have been dug up. Now I need to clear a spot in the basement. Some of the clumps were still a little damp so I want to leave those bags open for a bit so they don't rot and get moldy.
I've had really good success with this method. The basement is a little warmer than it should be most of the time and the humidity hovers around 35%. I just toss these guys in a plastic shopping bag. Last year they were actually put in a tote together after they had been sitting for about a month. The smaller tubers were placed with buddies when possible.
Hopefully, this technique will work once again with only minor losses!
