What can we do with an endless supply of potato sacks?

One of our plotholders owns a fish and chip shop and will give us as many paper potato sacks as we want.  They are made of thick brown paper, about 3 layers thick.

Apart from the obvious - using them to store our potatoes - what else could they be used for?  Would they be ok for lining paths or would they disintegrate too quickly?  Any other uses?

Sell them at your open days.  I hope to be there and would buy some.

Good idea about the open day Betty. I would have some but have already bought the hessian ones last year.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

If you really get too many you can shred and compost them... but selling at the open day is a good idea..  :)

My worms like brown corrugated cardboard, perhaps they might get to like shredded brown paper!

Wrap Christmas presents ?

You could stand by the cash desks at Toys'R'Us or the local GC, doing a wrap-and-go service.

Sack races ?
When Santa's about, just hoe-hoe-hoe
