What is the best way to store potatoes in these sacks?
Always allow potatoes to dry thoroughly before placing them in the sack. Store the filled sacks in a cool, dark place with temperatures below 10°C for best results.
Are these potato sacks reusable?
While primarily designed for single use, they can potentially be reused if kept dry and intact after emptying. However, their performance may be best on the first use.

What are the dimensions of the potato sacks?

Why is drying potatoes before storage important?
Drying potatoes before storage helps remove surface moisture that can contribute to rot and mold within the confines of the sack, especially when airflow is reduced.
Troubleshooting
Potatoes are developing rot or mold.
Ensure potatoes were completely dry before bagging. Check that the storage area is cool (below 10°C) and dark. Increase ventilation if possible by not packing the sacks too tightly or using a more breathable storage location.
Sack is tearing or not holding weight.
Distribute the weight of the potatoes evenly within the sack. Avoid overfilling beyond the recommended 25kg capacity. Ensure the sack is not placed on sharp objects.
Potatoes seem too moist inside the sack.
This indicates insufficient airflow. Loosen the potatoes within the sack, ensure the top is not sealed too tightly, and verify the storage environment is adequately cool and dry.
