Title: Potato sacks
Post by: silverbirch on October 02, 2007, 22:16:50
Where do you get your sacks from?  I use brown paper ones, but at £1 a pop, I'm sure they're expensive.

Barnowl I did exactly the same as you. They're keeping me some onion sacks too next time I'm passing by.

I did also buy those hessian sacks on Evil Bay...The Misprint ones  ;D

After reading a similar post on here a few months ago, I use the free paper sacks available at my local homebase.  Not quite as big as proper sacks but seem to be doing a good enough job.
