Despite moaning about Wyevale's high prices in the past, I have to compliment them on this occasion - someone mentioned to me that pet shops sometimes have sacks which used to contain birdseed, and suitable for storing potatoes, Wyevale's gave me 10, free, hessian no less, used to contain wild bird seed. Should last me a few years. Try your local petshop, or Wyevale's (they also gave me a paper sack a week earlier - they normally throw them all away!)

;D I just pop in my local greengrocers and ask for them and they give me them for free ;D
At one shop the assistant asked me what I wanted them for, I said potatoes, I grow them on my allotment :o ::) :P

P.S. I haven't been back as yet since. ;D

      Try the local fish & chip shop, they gave me 2 dozen sacks gladly, they only throw them away.

Hi,

I use the sacks from charcoal (we BBQ a lot so get plenty through the year), they are smaller, and suit the quantities of spuds that i am storing.  Also if you store in smaller sacks, they are easier to move, and if one has a problem it only effects a small amount of your crop....

Cheers,

D.

Can I use old pillow cases instead of sacks?

our council provides paper recycling bags which are used to recycle garden waste (branches and that). they are available free and very sturdy for the intended purpose.
personally, i am reusing a brown paper bag from my fav bakery for my spuds :)

I got an old potato sack from my local farm shop. (it was free - taken from their collection of packaging rubbish outside!)

I made a couple - local market upholstery fabric saleslady.
1 metre hessian (£2.50), couple of minutes with sewing machine, couple of bits of old rope - eh voila, two lovely sacks, now housing pink fir apples and king edwards!
