psudan said:Geof, do you use anything other than standard saran wrap? I saw some wrap at the supermarket that was a dark green color and seemed to be a little thicker. The thicker type might provide more protection but I decided to go with the clear wrap thinking it might be easier to see through and spot a potential problem.


I just use regular saran. I used to dust with sulfur, but it is such nasty stuff, the past few years I have dusted with cinnamon, as I read it is a natural anti fungal.

I usually dont ever bother checking the tubers until I am ready to wake them up. Since the are wrapped individually, if one does rot, it is contained, so I dont worry about the one rotten apple spoiling the barrel.
