corm/bulb storage
Dust some copper sulphate to stop the bulbs for going moldy in damp
conditions. This is available for dusting from any good garden shop.
Otherwise the cardboard is a great absorbent material and should be good
for these bulbs, as long as its not waxy stuff.
Old union bags are better for use.

Hi Folks,
I am wanting to store out of the ground some corms over summer and was
thinking of reusing chook pellet / grain bags...
Would these be ok? If anyone has a view and is happy to share it I would
be appreciative.
The corms will go back underground in late summer early autumn. Previously
I have kept them in a cardboard box and they have been ok, but I need
another option now... I am concerned they won't breathe, but then again
they keep grain well...
thanks
love and peace

I store mine in plastic pots or paper bags. Never had any issues with doing
it that way. I tend to plant mine in March though.
Cheers
Richard
