Thats a really good price.

Try their ebay link given above there are both potato & onion sacks listed at the moment.

I have only got 2 potato sacks both were from potato day. I salvaged the string bags the seed potatoes came in as mini onion storage bags.

Just got to work out how to hang them now before i fill them :-)

Got our sacks from Potloads - they're very high quality indeed. We also bought some anchor pegs, which are larger and stronger than most that you see, 90 for £8.10 inc p&p, so exactly 9p each, which I thought was pretty good, too.

caroline7758 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2007, 22:24:13 »

Has anyone used malt sacks to store potatoes? They are woven, but similar fabric to those big builders' sacks. Wonder if they would sweat? I've got loads from collecting spent hops.
