Burlap bag are fantastic in the farm and garden! They're a natural for organic weed block, sheet mulching, and erosion control.
- Burlap (also known as "jute" or "hessian") fabric lets water, oxygen, and nutrients through to the soil, but thoroughly blocks weeds
- It protects topsoil from erosion and helps retains warmth in the winter and moisture in the summer
- The rough surface looks natural and holds any type of mulch well - both above (for even better weedblocking) or below (for sheet mulching and soil-building)
- Unlike plastics, burlap is a natural material that breaks down over several years, leaving no trace
- Food-grade fabric is great for vegetable gardens
- A burlap bag represents a locally recycled, sustainable, natural product
Here's a link to a great article on "Interbay Mulch", the sheet-mulching technique first developed here in Seattle that creates very fertile garden soil.
Other uses for our bags abound!
- As a natural, strong, decorative fabric for wall covering, curtains, and rug backing
- As storage or transport bags for of anything needing strong protection with good air circulation
- As the traditional material to protect plant roots during transport and transplanting
- As a moisture-conserving cover to protect new concrete and allow it to cure perfectly
