Help! I cant find Vermiculite, Peat Moss, or a source for saw dust to cover my Dahlia bulbs for the winter. Is there anything else I can use?

it really dosent matter,fear not, as long as the tubers (the rooty type nobly things are perfectally dry and kept out of day light and frost they will be fine for the next year, (ensure there is no soil left on any root, before you store) You can use shredded paper to pack them if you like, as long as it is PERFECTLY DRY. havefun

Crumble up newspaper and wrap them and put them in a box or paper bag. You just want to keep them from touching each other. In addition to what Helritch said also store them in the coolest part of your home. A dry basement shelf of some other cool place.
