Over 200 dahlias to dig, divide, label and store. Here are a few photos of my process. Digging the roots up let's me see how they are doing, approx how many I will have for Spring, and it also allows me to replenish the soil. After the tubers are up, compost and soil optimizer will go back into the ground. In feeding the soil, we make it possible for the plants to absorb nutrients more effectively. The earth smell sweet and delicious. The texture was fluffy, and there were tons of earthworms, a VERY good sign.
This first photos shows the dahlia plant completed. It is ready to be lopped.
