Default Re: Is this a Problem?

The soil I'm using is about 70% compost and 30% garden soil from my yard. I had just watered it before I noticed the rot and started cutting. The soil is admittedly on the heavy side but I've been very careful about watering only sparingly and I've been makeing sure not to water unless the top couple of inches is dry. I think the rot is more from having been shipped the corm from arizona to saskatchewan in january. It shipped during a "warm" spell so outside temperatures were averaging around -10 C.
