They are suitable for use with both home grown and shop bought potatoes. Multiple pack sizes are available, making it easy to choose the right amount for your needs. For the best results, always allow potatoes to dry before placing them into the sack. Store filled sacks in a cool, dark place with temperatures below 10 degrees celsius.

Their strong paper construction makes them convenient for both short term and seasonal storage. They are also easy to handle when full.

Troubleshooting
Potatoes showing signs of rot or excessive moisture.
Ensure potatoes were completely dry before storage. Check storage temperature; it should be below 10°C. Increase ventilation if possible and remove any affected potatoes immediately.
Sacks feel damp or weak.
This indicates the storage environment is too humid or the sacks are exposed to moisture. Move sacks to a drier location. Inspect for leaks and consider replacing damp sacks.
Sprouting of potatoes.
While airflow helps, sprouting is natural. Ensure storage is as dark as possible and the temperature is consistently low (below 10°C) to slow down the sprouting process.
