I prefer the Hessian sacks Ian, they cost you, but they last and can be washed which is great if you get some stored stuff going off.

I also think they air so provide better storage for that reason, anyhow I prefer them.

I love hessian sacks as well, but whatever you do, don't run them through the washing machine

Hessians here cost about a pound each.

No.

And don't do that to your garden fleece either. :roll:

Thanks, no cheap ones for me then.

well i wanted ten, got six and have to wait till more come in, a tip for you though, anywhere that sells penuts loose should have some, ie small pet food place, and i think a few come with seed pots!
