Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup inside the sack

Ensure potatoes are thoroughly dry before storing. Store sacks in a well-ventilated area, not in a damp environment. Consider using a breathable lining if extreme humidity is a persistent issue.

Sack tearing during filling

Distribute the weight of the potatoes evenly within the sack. Avoid overfilling beyond the recommended capacity. Handle the sack gently when moving it.

Premature spoilage of potatoes

Confirm that the potatoes were dry and healthy at the time of storage. Ensure the storage location is cool, dark, and has adequate air circulation. Check for any damage to the sack that might impede airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
