Hi Dave, just kept our yams in an onion bag hung in the garage and checked them every month disposing of any which had deteriorated and planted in September. We had a good crop this year and have just started harvesting and eating them. We live in Northern Tassie and began growing yams only a couple of years ago as they were becoming harder to buy.
