Default got a bumpercrop of burlap bags

at the coffieshop. The staff on call usealy charges 50c for each but sense he knows me and we are sorta friends he let me get 12 for free. He even loaded them into my pca's car which was nice.

The dementions are at least 2 foot by 2 foot some bigger and the burlap is strong yet breathy. Cant wait for a great harvest this year!

Heirloom, how do you use them? ( I am an Earthbox gardener so I am clueless!)

Basically what you do is fill up the bags with earth and plant either seed patatos or plants in the bag, fill them to about 1/3d full of dirt/ as they grow keep filing in more and more until bag is full and water well. when tops die back shake out burlap bags and reap harvest.
