FAQs

How many potatoes can a sack hold?

Each sack is designed to hold approximately 15kg of potatoes.

Do I need to wash the potatoes before storing them?

No, you do not need to wash them. However, it is crucial that the potatoes are completely dry and free of excess soil before placing them in the sack to prevent moisture buildup.

Can these sacks be used for other vegetables?

While designed for potatoes, the breathable nature of the sacks may also be suitable for other root vegetables that require air circulation, provided they are stored dry.

Are the sacks waterproof?

No, the sacks are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, not for containing moisture. They are best used in dry storage conditions.

How should I store the sacks when not in use?

When empty, the sacks are easy to store. Simply fold them flat and keep them in a dry place until needed for the next harvest.

Are these sacks suitable for long-term storage (e.g., over winter)?

Yes, when used in conjunction with a cool, dark, and well-ventilated storage area, these sacks help maintain potato freshness for extended periods, including over winter.

What are the dimensions of the sack?

The sacks measure 57.5cm (22.6 inches) in height and 45cm (17.7 inches) in width.

What happens if the sack gets dirty?

The sacks are not washable. You can brush off loose dirt. If they become too soiled for reuse, they are recyclable.

Troubleshooting

Potatoes still spoiling quickly

Ensure potatoes are completely dry before bagging. Check that the storage location is cool, dark, and has adequate ventilation. Avoid storing near fruits that release ethylene gas (like apples), which can speed up potato sprouting.

Sack feels damp inside

This indicates moisture buildup, likely from the potatoes or the storage environment. Remove potatoes, dry them thoroughly, and air out the sack completely. Improve ventilation in the storage area.

Sack tearing easily

While made of heavy-duty paper, avoid dragging the sack on rough surfaces or overfilling it. Distribute weight evenly when moving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply ensure your potatoes are clean and completely dry before placing them into the sack. Fill the sack, do not overstuff, and fold over the top or tie loosely if desired. Place the sack in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated location. Avoid storing near heat sources or in humid environments.

Compatibility: These sacks are compatible with standard potato varieties and are ideal for dry storage in pantries, cellars, garages, or sheds. They are best used for whole, unpeeled potatoes.

Care: These sacks are not designed to be washed. If reusing, brush out any loose soil or debris. For heavily soiled sacks that cannot be reused, they are recyclable according to local guidelines.
