Thanks Jennifer - the cinnamon is new for me this year. Previously I have used sulfur as an anti fungal - but that is nasty stuff to work with, and I have read that cinnamon does as good a job. It smelled like I was baking for the holidays!
I have had great successes with trading tubers, so I am sure I will continue doing it. Occasionally one receives a dud, but last year I received about 40 new varieties for less than $40 postage, and while 4-5 of them either didn't eye up or didn't grow for me - It was still a great way to almost double my collection.
