Troubleshooting

Potatoes showing signs of rot.

Ensure potatoes were dry before storing. Check storage environment for humidity and temperature. Ideally, keep below 10°C in a dark, well-ventilated area. Consider sorting through potatoes periodically.

Sack develops a musty smell.

This can indicate residual moisture. Empty the sack, wash by hand with cool water, and ensure it is completely air-dried before reuse. Improve ventilation in the storage area.

Ensure the sack is not overfilled. Distribute the weight evenly within the sack for better stability.

Pros and Cons

  • Environmentally friendly due to being biodegradable and compostable.
  • Durable and washable, allowing for repeated use over many seasons.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely damp storage environments without additional precautions.
  • Hessian can be susceptible to mildew if stored damp after washing.
  • Pack of 3 may not be sufficient for very large harvests.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place your clean, dry harvested potatoes (or other root vegetables) into the sack. Avoid overfilling to ensure adequate air circulation. For best results, store the filled sacks in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated location, ideally below 10°C.

Compatibility: These sacks are compatible with storing most root vegetables, including potatoes, onions, and carrots. They are an excellent alternative to plastic bags or bins. Ensure the storage area is dry.

Care: To clean, empty the sack completely and shake out any loose soil. Hand wash with cool water and a mild detergent if necessary. Allow the sack to air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area before storing or refilling. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the hessian fibers. Ensure the sack is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
