storing dahlia tubers

15 years ago

Hello all,

I haven't been on this web site in years...I used to be active on the beekeeping site. I've missed beeing here!

Anyway, I just read about the saran wrap technique for storing dahlia tubers in the fall on the ADS site. I was wondering if I could use zip lock plastic baggies. At work, in the hospital, we get 4x4 sponges in these small baggies and they are just being thrown away. i've been saving them when I work in this particular department, thinking I would find a use for them eventually. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you and happy Spring!

Denise

Some people use ziplock bags to store in so it would probably work the same way as the saran wrap. We had "rotten" luck (pun intended) when I used saran wrap so don't use any plastics at all.
