Popped into the two central Glasgow branches of Poundland today in hunt of their slug traps. No luck with those, but now in stock are 105x60cm hessian sacks, which I reckon are ideal for storing potatoes... all natural, biodegradable and breathable (although not lightproof, so you'll need to keep them somewhere dark).

How much are they?

I'm not falling for that one  If you need to ask you shouldn't be allowed in ...

Also (forgot to mention) if you're having troubles with the birds, 4x5 metre bird nets are also in stock.

Good excuse for a day trip to Sheffield though Reckon that would be the closest to you.

Great thanks for the info, will try to get to my local one in the next few days.

Bug*er, I looked at these today but didn't pick any up due to them not being lightproof. Will go back and get a couple. Will have to find a dark place to store them though, garage is no good as it has windows in the side of it. It might sound silly but is the loft a good place to store veg? I know it's a pain going up there to get the veg but at least it's dark.

Not if you're panning on putting half a ton of spuds up there, ceiling joists are not designed for that, in fact they bow when people walk on them.

[madcat]

Can you chuck a thick dust sheet (old curtain?) over them in the garage?  keeps light out, the veg accessable and the ceilings intact....

[DD.]

Years ago in my first year growing spuds in any quantities, I did just that.

Cardboard boxes with a old curtain slung on top.

Werked fer me!

Plenty of hessian sacks in Hull.  I didnt see it said anywhere about the light though!
£1 each at Poundland

I couldn't find the sacks but found the slug traps in the metrocentre, Gateshead. Also got more pots oops 

[Aidy]

I got a soaker hose from them, connected to the butt and there is enough pressure to get a good drip going for my toms, a complete irrigation system for £2, had to buy another connector.

[Mitsy]

Oh I got 2 of the soaker hoses too
