Here Andy will discuss situations around winterizing dahlias, with an overview of how to dig dahlias up and store them effectively for growth the next year.

Superb....very informative videos 👍

@backyardadventureswithandy Год назад

Thanks! I am planning to do a test where I store other tubulars in different mediums and methods, and then show the after-result of how they compare. More soon!

Love the video

@backyardadventureswithandy 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! Be careful about moisture (rot) and temperature. Check monthly the first year or so to get familiar with how the storage works out.

Good info, wonder if you did any videos on your soil ? Soil amendment, or what kind of soil do you use. The tubers look big and healthy. Myself, I never lift mine. Just cover real good.

@backyardadventureswithandy 10 месяцев назад

I typically add compost periodically to my soil, and every year, a fresh layer of mulch helps keep it healthy. Specifically, the mulch is usually a mix of composted yard waste and wood chips/shavings.

Yes...my favorite fan!

@jmchatfield1 Год назад

Is calling them "tubulars" a regional thing? I've never heard them called a tubular before 😮

@backyardadventureswithandy Год назад

It might be...I hear this around quite a bit, but I have never researched the history of the term.

@@backyardadventureswithandy It's TUBERS, not tubes or tubulars 😄

Storing them in a shed located in Wisconsin during the winter would be on reaches below negative degrees most winters here.

@backyardadventureswithandy 9 месяцев назад

Good point...perhaps a garage attached to a house? Sometimes, these out buildings are able to hold enough temperature.

@entiatwarocks 10 месяцев назад

Do you have to have clear plastic bags. I have white trash liners that I can use will that work ok?

@backyardadventureswithandy 10 месяцев назад

One caution...make sure the dahlias are dried out for several days and not in a warmer/wet environment, and periodically check them for mold or rot. I have a video I am preparing on different storage methods, and if they are to damp, issues may come.

And, the color/transparency of bag doesn't matter from my experience. I would even try brown paper bags.
