Troubleshooting

Potatoes show signs of mold or rot.

Ensure potatoes were completely dry before bagging and that the storage area is cool, dark, and below 10°C. Excessive humidity in the storage area can also contribute to rot.

Sack feels damp or is tearing.

This indicates high ambient moisture. Move the sack to a drier location. If the sack is significantly damaged, consider transferring the contents to a new sack, ensuring the potatoes are dry.

Bag is difficult to close securely.

Gently push down on the contents to create space at the top, then fold the excess paper over firmly. The natural paper can be creased to hold its shape.
