Burlap bags are fantastic in the farm and garden! They're a natural for organic weed block, sheet mulching, and erosion control. Burlap (aka "jute") fabric lets water, oxygen, and nutrients through to the soil, but thoroughly blocks weeds It protects topsoil and tender plant roots 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 simple, low-cost sheet-mulching technique first developed here in Seattle to creates extraordinarily fertile garden soil. Other uses for our bags abound! As a simple, low-cost "container garden" for growing mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, and squashes (Much lighter, more breathable, and less expensive than whiskey barrels!) As "earth bags", to construct natural, durable Green buildings using on-site soil As storage, harvest, or transport bags for of anything needing strong protection with good air circulation As a natural, strong, decorative fabric for wall covering, curtains, and rug backing As a moisture-conserving cover to protect new concrete and allow it to cure perfectly Along with ti leaves, burlap is the essential material to make an imu pit for your Hawaiian Luau! Wholesale / Agricultural / Industrial / Governmental / Geotechnical sales (within Western Washington) We always have thousands of bags available, sorted, cleaned, and palletized for immediate pickup or Seattle-area delivery. Nurseries, government agencies, landscapers, farms and onion growers, geo-engineering contractors, and others needing bulk quantities of bags are all welcome. Pickups of 150 or more bags in a single purchase are generally preferred, but feel free to email us to discuss your specific needs. Wholesale customers are welcome to contact us directly with a description of their needs: bags@seattleburlap.com. We'll respond quickly to your emails with quotes for materials and (if desired) delivery to your jobsite or facility. Wholesale / Industrial / Agricultural / Governmental / Geotechnical sales (outside Western Washington) Palletload quantities of the exact grade and quantity of bags you need can be shipped to your jobsite, warehouse, farm, or restoration location on short notice. We're glad to quote prices and shipment costs via your preferred motor freight carrier or ours. (Our carriers have very good freight pricing to a variety of destinations, especially within the Western US.) Contact us at bags@seattleburlap.com. In your email, please provide some idea of (1) exactly how many bags you need (eg "about 450"), (2) what application you're intending them for (e.g., landscape, nursery, materials storage, onion harvest, or industrial), and (3) your ship-to zip code and type of facility (farm, construction jobsite, warehouse, etc.). That information will help us greatly to quote you an accurate product price and freight cost. Thanks! PLEASE NOTE: if you are outside Western Washington, our minimum shipment quantity is a "short pallet" of 300 bags (gross weight about 500 pounds, expect truck freight charges of $125+ depending on your distance from Seattle). Sorry, but shipment of smaller quantities (less than a palletload) is not cost-effective for us nor our customers, and requests for small shipments must sadly be ignored. Retail customers (home/garden/landscaping use) within the Puget Sound area only If you need just a few bags - generally three dozen or fewer at one time - it's usually easiest just to visit one of the excellent Seattle-area retailers listed below. All of them carry our basic garden/weedblock-grade bags, most starting at just .99/bag. Contact us anytime if they don't seem to have what you need, if you're interested in larger quantities, have special requirement, such as our craft/art-grade bags or container planting "organic half-barrels". If you're representing a P-patch, small farm, or are a Tilth or Permaculture member and want make a bulk purchase of bags directly from our warehouse (located in SoDo, between Safeco Field and Georgetown), please email us first to schedule a pickup time. We'll give you full directions and the warehouse address then. Due to delivery schedules we don't have regular retail hours, so it's always important to make contact with us before trying to visit. Our email address is simply: bags@seattleburlap.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
