How do you store your potatoes, in netting bags, paper sacks or another?

I put mine in paper sacks, which I first got from the local market about 3 years ago. These then go into the garage where its just about frost free.
I wouldn't use nets, as you need to keep the light out.
I'm just getting to the end of my crop from last year. bad year as I had to harvest half of the maincrop early due to blight.

The most important thing is to make sure they are dry before storing in hession or paper sacs.

I use some greengrocers boxes I made to fit in my understairs cupboard and cover them in a couple of hessian sacks... There's a cardboard tray in the bottom of each box..

We stored ours in hessian sacks and put the hessian sacks in metal dustbins that have had holes drilled in them to let the air circulate and we put these bins on bricks to raise them off the floor of the garage.

it stops the  ..........ing rodents getting them.

We keep ours in paper sacks, chippies will often let you have their old ones for free, in the outside toilet. Mice are the only real problem. Still eating last years. The cold start means we haven't had a chitting issue yet!

I store mine in paper sacks on a pallet in the garage. Just check them occasionlly to check for any bad ones. I also keep rodent poison down.

I use the paper sacks that they delivered in to the local nursery, I always ask and they always let me have half a dozen or so.    :wave:
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
