Advice on moving a bulb collection

Hi Fred,
Good luck!!!!
The only time I ever moved my collection, 30 years ago, it was much smaller
than now. An acquaintance of mine with a commercial greenhouse (at that
time) let me store my plants in a corner for the 4 to 5 months I had to
wait for the new place to be finished. And I suspect he fumigated the heck
out of my stuff as soon as I was out the door. I would hate to go through
what you are planning.

Dear fellow PBS members,
I am about to move from one U.S. state to another with a very large bulb and
plant collection. Can I draw on someone's experience of doing this same
feat? I might add that the bulbs will be in storage for 4 to 6 weeks during
the move.
Best regards,
Fred Thorne
