corm/bulb storage

 Hi Folks,
I am wanting to store out of the ground some corms over summer and was
thinking of reusing chook pellet / grain bags...
Would these be ok? If anyone has a view and is happy to share it I would be
appreciative.
The corms will go back underground in late summer early autumn. Previously I
have kept them in a cardboard box and they have been ok, but I need another
option now... I am concerned they won't breathe, but then again they keep
grain well...
thanks
love and peace

I store mine in plastic pots or paper bags. Never had any issues with doing
it that way. I tend to plant mine in March though.

Cheers

 Dust some copper sulphate to stop the bulbs for going moldy in damp
conditions. This is available for dusting from any  good garden shop.
Otherwise the cardboard is a great absorbent material and should be good
for these bulbs, as long as its not waxy stuff.
Old union bags are better for use.
