      <image:title>Dahlia Guides - Why I pre-sprout dahlia tubers</image:title>

      <image:title>Dahlia Guides - How to Pre-Sprout Dahlia Tubers Using the Baggie Method - I close one end of the bag and clip that end to the rack making sure to keep the other end of the bag slightly open to get air.

      <image:title>Dahlia Guides - How to Pre-Sprout Dahlia Tubers Using the Baggie Method - Using a wash bottle I will also start to water the roots. The angled neck of the bottle lets me target just the roots, again helping to prevent an over soaked tuber.</image:title>
