Storing dahlia tubers successfully in optimum conditions!

 This is just a few of the boxes that the tubers are stored in for the winter months.
 Tubers stay nice and plump.  It is easy to lift a package of tubers to see if any are rotting so it/they can be removed.
 A list of the tubers is placed on the outside of the box.

 Another box of stored tubers.
 Place a total of 4 paper towels on the bottom of the bin to catch any excess moisture.  Replace the paper towel when you check the tubers each month.
Place a total of 4 paper towels on the top of the tubers.  The paper towel will stop the moisture that collects on the lid of the bid so it doesn't drip on to the tubers causing them to rot.
