FAQs

How much potato can one sack hold?

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

Can I store potatoes directly from the ground?

No, it is crucial to ensure potatoes are completely dry before placing them in the sacks to prevent moisture buildup and spoilage.

Are these sacks reusable?

Yes, the heavy-duty, multi-layered paper construction makes them durable enough for multiple uses, provided they are kept clean and dry.

What are the dimensions of the sack?

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

Are these sacks suitable for long-term storage?

They are excellent for medium-term storage in optimal conditions (cool, dark, dry, ventilated). For very long-term storage, regular checks for moisture and condition are recommended.

Can I wash the sacks?

Washing is not recommended as it can weaken the paper. If necessary, wipe the interior with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth and ensure it dries completely before reuse.

What makes these sacks eco-friendly?

They are made from heavy-duty paper and are fully recyclable after their period of use, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic storage.

Troubleshooting

Potatoes show signs of moisture or mold

Ensure potatoes were completely dry before bagging. Improve ventilation in the storage area. Consider using a desiccant if humidity is a persistent problem.

Sack tears easily

Avoid overfilling the sack beyond its approximate 15kg capacity. Handle with care, especially when full, to prevent stress on the paper.

Pests are attracted to the sacks

Ensure storage area is clean and free of debris. Store sacks in a location less accessible to pests if possible. Natural deterrents like dried bay leaves can sometimes be added.
