I am delighted to announce that TopVeg are now selling hessian bags or sacks for potatoes.
The sacks are:
-
50 x 80cm – not too heavy to lift.
-
ideal for storing potatoes, onions and garlic – allowing them to breathe and they do not sweat.
-
easy for the air to circulate through them.
- each sack will hold approximately 28lb.
- Introductory price for 5 sacks £5.45 plus postage & packing (UK only).
Introductory price for 10 sacks £10.75 plus postage and packing (UK only).
Sorry – this offer is for UK only
To use TopVeg Hessian sacks:
-
fill them with dry potatoes – leave the potatoes out, spread thinly, to dry naturally before putting in the sacks
-
do not wash the soil off the potatoes because washed potatoes will not store well, just let the soil dry before putting the potatoes into sacks
-
only store healthy potatoes, any damaged, bruised or diseased potatoes will not keep
-
once filled, store the sacks in a cool, dark place
-
check the potatoes regularly to make sure there is no wetness or smell. If there is remove the offending potatoes.
- keep inspecting the store for signs of rats and mice
- TopVeg Hessian potato sacks are suitable for storing onions and garlic.
