Hessian Sacks Decorate Harvest Festival

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — TopVeg @ 9:28 pm

TopVeg received an SOS for Hessian Sacks needed to decorate for the Harvest Festival. The problem was they were ordered at 6am on Tuesday, (must have had a planning meeting on Monday night!) with a note saying:
‘As these are for our harvest festival at the weekend, I wonder if you would kindly send them as soon as possible, as ideally would like to set up on Friday. ‘

TopVeg packed the sacks and sent them with the morning post, & they arrived  today, Wednesday, the very next day.

The purchaser kindly sent this note:  ‘Thank you so much, received today.

I really appreciate speedy turn around from TopVeg’

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
