We are moving from California to Ohio August 1st.
I am digging up some of my TB Irises and I'm not sure how to store them for the move.
I've done a lot of searching and googling, most everything I find tells me to dig, divide & replant.
Nothing about digging and storing for a few months. (I may need to store them over the winter)
I'm fine with them not blooming next spring, I just want to make sure they don't rot or dry out.

I picked up some empty sandbags at Lowe's and thought maybe storing the fans in wood chips inside the bags, what do you think?
This is just a few of them, do I lay them in the sun to dry (it's going to be about 110 today)

Thanks for your help
