Dahlias: Possible headstart attempt with dahlias., 0 by edewitt

I got my tubers from Accent Dahlias a couple of days ago and was figuring out what I wanted to do with them. Some of them I'm going to attempt to take some cuttings from and make new plants and the others are going to be planted early in these 8" biodegradable nursery pots and then planted outside when the time comes.

My first example shown will be a "Shinkyoku" tuber.

The first thing I did was to pull a bunch of soil from an area I have great conditions for tubers. It's probably about 50/50 soil and sand and worked great for my dahlias last year. I filled up the pot with the soil/sand between 2/3's to 3/4 's of the way.
