Hi,

I live in Sussex UK. I am looking for some paper sacks for storage.

Any idea where I can get them? Tried garden centres and DIY places to
no avail.

Thanks
Steve

What kind of paper sacks?

What sizes?

Just big enough for potatoes (from our traditional lines not
containers!)


Have you tried a feed store?
They often recycle paper sacks... I toss 50 lb. triple paper sacks when
I buy feed for my one pet emu. I could mail you some for the shipping?

Not sure what it'd be, but the e-mail address is legit.
I could also just send you single layer grocery store paper sacks?

Have you considered burlap?

Thanks. I'll try out the feed people first. If no luck I'll come back
to you if thats OK.


Whatever works for you sir. :-)

I need to purchase feed shortly here so I can save you sacks in a clean
spot. There would only be may be 1/2 dozen.

I'm betting tho' that if you have a local feed store, they can at least
refer you to customers that would otherwise just toss them!

Those triple layer feed sacks can be useful. I've used them to store and
process composted leaves and send soil from the henyard home with
friends that wanted it!
