Product Information
Full details
These large paper potato storage sacks are designed for home gardeners and allotment owners who need a reliable, plastic-free way to store seasonal harvests. Featuring a 3-ply construction, these bags provide the durability required to hold up to 25kg of produce while maintaining breathability to prevent spoilage; however, users should note that they are intended for dry storage and must be kept away from excessive moisture to maintain structural integrity.

FAQs
Can these sacks be reused?
Yes, if they remain dry and intact, these sacks can be reused for multiple harvests.
Are these bags compostable?
Yes, they are made from paper and are fully compostable, making them an excellent eco-friendly option.
Will these keep potatoes from turning green?
The thick 3-ply paper effectively blocks out light, which helps prevent potatoes from turning green, provided they are kept completely covered.
Can I store onions in these sacks?
Yes, they are ideal for onions, carrots, and other root vegetables that require breathable, dark storage.
How should I clean them if they get dirty?
It is best to brush off dry dirt. Avoid using water to clean the bags, as moisture will weaken the paper fibers.
Troubleshooting
Produce is beginning to sprout or rot quickly
Ensure the storage area has adequate airflow and is kept in total darkness. Check that vegetables were not damp when placed inside.
Bottom seam appears to be sagging
Do not exceed the recommended 25kg capacity and ensure the bag is placed on a flat, solid surface rather than being suspended.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for bulk storage of home-grown root vegetables
- Breathable material keeps produce fresh for longer periods
- Reinforced base prevents bags from breaking under heavy weight
- Environmentally conscious and 100% compostable
Cons
- Not suitable for storage in damp or humid areas
- Paper material can tear if punctured by sharp tools or debris
- Once the paper becomes wet, the durability is significantly reduced
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply unfold the bag and ensure it is fully expanded before filling. These sacks are compatible with most standard pantry shelving, provided the environment remains dry. To care for your sacks, store unused bags in a flat, dry space. Avoid storing the bags directly on concrete floors if the floor is prone to dampness, as the paper will wick moisture and weaken over time. If a bag becomes damaged or worn after multiple seasons of use, it can be added to your home compost bin or recycled through standard paper collection services.
