Great video, thank you! I’m fairly new to the dahlia growing. Do you cut the tubers with an eye now or in the spring ?
@RainDropFarms 25 күн бұрын
@@amyrider6518 we divide into clumps in the fall and store them that way. If you're breaking them down to single tubers it's easier to do in the fall while the eyes are still plumped up.

And is it better for them to grow in hoop protected from wind and rain controlling them better or just outside? We planted around 100 tubers this season in our raised beds and we had beautiful flowers whole summer, our kid was selling them to fill up her piggy bank and she did actually amazing job. Now we are thinking to start dahlia business and not sure what would the best way. I am sure that from those 100 tubers we will have many more, and thinking of making some more raised beds only, or making hoop style greenhouses where the sides will be open in summer for more wind and to prevent diseases. We don't know what to do, and if idea is good, only thing we are sure is that market is there and I am sure we could market sell everything we make.,..

@ronin6044 we use the hoops for season extension, to get flowers early and keep them going after frost. Keeping the rain and wind off of them is a bonus, but we encounter more disease in the hoops for sure. The majority of what we grow is outside in the field.

@@RainDropFarms Thanks so much for answer, we will consider that also. We live in the Netherlands so our growing season is short and summer is soft and rainy. But we had beautiful first year Dahlias and we are thinking of turning it into a business. Or at least a part time job starting with 500-1000 plants next year.

I can imagine the beautiful fragrance in your tunnel. Do you band all your stems like that and if so what size rubber band?
@RainDropFarms 6 ай бұрын
Ya, it's a pretty nice place to start the day. The rubber bands we use aren't sized, they come bulk from Peirson supply in Florida. We do this style banding on all stiffer stemmed crops like peonies, sunflowers, amaranth etc. On softer stem crop like sweet peas or bells of Ireland we'll do a looser standard cross back in forth wrap.

We have the conduit in the ground. If you want to use rebar ground stakes you need to use ground plates. If you check out "farmers friend's greenhouses" videos, they use this system on their low tunnel kits.
