Stop throwing your money away on expensive and dangerous chemicals! The cure to common garden ailments are probably siting in your kitchen or laundry room.
One of the problems we have when storing dahlia tubers for a long period of time is fungus. A quick and easy method to prep your tubers for storage is to soak them for ten minutes in a solution of 1 part chlorine bleach to ten parts of water. (Ten minutes only--more is NOT better in this case). Rinse thoroughly and air dry before tucking them away.
Borax: One cup of Borax per gallon of water. Soak for ten minutes. Rinse, and let dry.
For both treatments: if your water starts to get dirty, change it, and resume treatment.
