Actually, I said to dig them up leaving the soil on the rhizomes and
put them into a bushel basket.

In maybe 5 out of 30 years, my canna rhizomes began to decompose (also
known as composting!) in storage. Finally, I settled on a method
recommended by a local nursery: Rinse off all soil. Let rhizomes dry for
a day or two. Give them a light coating of sulfur powder the same way
you'd dust chicken with flour. Store in a non-living medium like
vermiculite.
AH HA! (another good idea! thanks!)

Thank you. You're the first person to agree with about anything since last
Monday.
