How should I store the sacks when they are empty?

Store the empty sacks flat in a dry place to maintain their integrity for future use.

Are these sacks waterproof?

No, the sacks are made of breathable paper and are not waterproof. They must be kept in a dry environment.

What are the dimensions of the sacks?

The sacks measure approximately 57.5cm (22.6 inches) in height and 45cm (17.7 inches) in width.

Can these sacks be reused?

Troubleshooting

Potatoes seem to be sprouting or spoiling quickly.

Ensure potatoes were completely dry before storage. Check that the storage area is cool, dark, and dry. Increase air circulation around the sacks if possible.

Sack feels damp or has moisture inside.

Remove potatoes immediately. Allow both the sack and potatoes to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before re-storing. Consider the ambient humidity of your storage location.

Sack has small tears or holes.

These are often due to mishandling or excessive weight. Try to reinforce the area with strong tape if necessary for continued use, or use for lighter storage. For significant tears, consider using a new sack.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability keeps potatoes fresh longer.
  • Durable construction from heavy-duty, multi-layered paper.
  • Eco-friendly and recyclable design.
  • Large capacity suitable for significant harvests.
  • Reusable for multiple storage seasons.
  • Easy to store when empty.

Cons

  • Requires potatoes to be dry before storage to prevent moisture buildup.

  • Not waterproof; should be kept in a dry location.
  • Potential for tearing if overloaded or mishandled excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply open the sack and place your clean, dry potatoes inside. Fill to the approximate capacity of 15kg, ensuring not to overstuff to maintain air circulation.

Compatibility: These sacks are ideal for storing mature, dry potatoes. They are compatible with most home storage environments like pantries, cellars, and sheds, provided the area is cool, dark, and dry. They are not recommended for storing root vegetables other than potatoes, or for use in damp conditions.

Care: To maintain the sacks' condition for reuse, store them flat and dry when not in use. If they become soiled, wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid washing them with water, as this can degrade the paper. Ensure any potatoes stored inside are completely dry to prevent moisture damage to the sack and its contents. For single-use, they can be recycled according to local guidelines.
