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...


If they are that woven plastic they should be OK, but not if they are just
like garbage bags. It woul be a good idea to punch some extra holes, too.
