What an excellent video - Thank you!

Thank you! Is it possible to check for gall in spring time during the pre-growth stage of the dahlias? I am planning to do the pre-growth in separate pots, so it would be easy to remove single dahlias in case of gall or other diseases - if detectable at that early stage.

Thank you, this is very useful. I guess, 10-15 degrees Celsius will be warm enough for early tuber start (?). And: All the best to you for 2025!

Thank you for your informative video! When digging tubers this fall I discovered several tubers infected with leafy gall. At first I excitedly thought they were robustly sprouting for next season, then sadly realized they were diseased. Now I know what to look for and how to proceed in the future.

Very informative video. I'll be checking your channel for more information on gall in dahlias. Had several new (to me) varieties infected. They were disposed of after fall digging. I've read that I should dispose of the soil, but is it possible to plant another crop in that area?

This might be the best video I've watched on dahlias and I've watched alot😂

Excellent advice, thank you.

Hello bro will these insects fly to other place from my farm if I buy them

You did say in your earlier video that the tuber would put its energy into the shoot rather than the roots because they were tubers prepared for the production of cuttings. Love the gentle commentary to the very precise and careful handling of the plant material. Evie

Best idea I've seen. Ty❤

How tall do they grow?

To long repeats himself

i ALWAYS find APHIDS in my backyard😂

The aphids bin through enough today😢❤

Oh goodness I stripped mine to early I think. Thank you so much for showing how it should be done. I was tempted to even remove some more today as my lower leaves are huge compared to the newer more compact centres. That’s why I though they should go

Thank you for making this great video!

Do cuttings have to come from tubers? Can they be taken from higher on the stems? Stem cuttings? Or side shoots with flower buds removed? Have you noticed a difference in tuber production from cuttings versus tubers? Thank you!

How much

How to got Falcon 2

Last year, I left some of the dirt on my tuber clumps, wrapped them in plastic and stored in a cardboard box. Didn't split them at all until spring. They did great.

Excellent advice, the Rule Of Three is perfect. I started growing dahlias this year and you are the first person to describe such a means of growing dahlias. Thank you.

Absolutely love your channel.

I have a question and I got so many different answers. Does planting 1 tuber give you a plant with less flowers for the season than planting clump? My wife and I want a lot of flowers for next year because our little daughter wants to sell bouquets next to the road. But at the same time we want to grow our tuber numbers for more plants.

One of best videos, everyone show you how to divide tubers easy to do. Nobody what to do with clump of them. Thank you so much.

I see that you don't wash them, when you pull them out of the ground do you let them dry for a day or two before dividing? When do you clean the dirt from it because ours comes out from ground pretty dirty.

Great video, we are with our first year and thinking of a method to store them. The only problem for us is recognizing tubers with eyes while dividing them. We will probably go for this method, just not sure how big of a plant those little tubers can become?

How many cuttings can you take off of one clump of pot tubers?

Is there an antimicrobial that might work? Since it is a bacterial infection

This is by far the best and easiest thing for a solo gardener. I don't need the plastic because it's too hot in Texas but I will definitely make 2 types: 1) Shade and 1) Insect! My beds are much smaller than yours so I think I can do this. Thank you so much for sharing. (Oh, I arrived here from your Short!) 😃

So did you start with seed starting mix which does not have as much nutrient as regular compost……then after 56 days is that the same soil or have you changed it?

Good Job👍😊

New gardener, here. I tried both planting tubers and planting a small dahlia plant. Both were decimated by slugs!

How many times can you use

Thank you. Very helpful. I shat go and apply the 333 rule and trim my dahlias for the first time. Cheers from australia. 🇦🇺

60 sec?...you forgot to mention you video was on super speed!!

Good morning MFF, am I correct in assuming for the rule of 3 to operate well that there is a single tuber in each pot?

I have just watched some of your videos and they are very well done and very informative! Just a question on the depth of the planted tuber. I am in Canada and like to plant my tubers 6 inches under the ground level, even if they have already sprouted. I plant sprout and all, usually burying the stem and it comes up just fine. This is the first time I have seen tubers planted with the tops at ground level. I had always thought that the new tubers are created under ground at the top of the original tuber. So in your case, where do the new tubers form?

I have a dark foliages type dahlia. My green ones root no problem but these cuttings are just sitting there doing nothing, including not dying. They’re in the open porch and get sun and are watered regularly. What else can I do? They’re almost two months old lol

Hello. It’s time to do some “brutal” cutting. Thanks to your tutelage I am enjoying my dahlia growing. My question is - can you speak to conditioning? Some put their dahlia stems in very hot water and leave to cool overnight. Do you do anything besides cool clean water? TY

How did you measure the plastic so it fit over the hoops so perfectly?

i dont have the best luck with trying to root cuttings, i managed to root a few from side shoots. So if you wanted to plant the pot tuber after getting some cutting, can you plant out in the garden?

Thanks for you incredible informative videos. Most grateful.👍

How do you keep the plastic cover from the wind blowing it off? I dont see it fastened to anything.

Can you replant dahlias in the same spot?

Those 310s made my hand sore today, which never happens (I use my #2 all day a lot of days). Don't use WD-40 for preserving tools. 3-in-1 is good & cheap. Good saw & bit cleaner at Menards cleans the sap off super well. Or Goop.

Excellent video. Very helpful for beginners like me. Many thanks.

My first time having Dahlias in pots and they have finished producing flowers for this year leaving the seed pod. What do I do now with them and will they grow back next year?

I pinched 5 of my dahlias and they all wilted and died within a week. The ones I haven't are growing beautifully. Makes no sense.

My grandmother used to cut the "easy" tubers off and leave the "hard" to get to tubers all together in a clump, the clumps went into her "seed garden" and the single tubers went to "production" or for sale.

This should work fine with shade cloth too right? Great video tho definitely trying this out Also would flipping the conduit when you’re towards the end bring back your leverage? I’m no physics major but seems like it could work
