the Saran wrap seems like wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much work if you have a lot of tubers... what i thought would be a cool expieriment though was to try a vaccum sealer on them. the head of a huge garden store by me thinks they would prob die though.. be fun to try it on a few once though

I use Miricle Grow Spagnum moss instead of cedar chips, seems like the perfect moisture content. I store them in my heated basement under the stairs and block it off with a couple layers of plastic to cut the heat from getting in there... stays a nice 38f or so. I had 68 plants last year and have 468 tubers storednow ! .. toooo many - heehee
