islandguy Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi, I am interested to use burlap bags for erosion control mats and as weed control The area involved only gets the force of the rainfall, no slope sending water at them. Also to be used to grow cover plants in between and through holes in the bags. I have sourced new bags, but prefer old bags used for some agricultural product. Suggestions or comments welcome.

cooked Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Rice farmers will be buying new 'burlap' (jute) sacks every year. They generally get repaired and re-repaired until they are useless, I'm sure any farmer would be happy to sell old sacks to the crazy farang. Price? Dunno.

islandguy Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks for clarifying that what I want is jute. Wasn't sure if they used them for rice still, have seen them used with cassava and to pack durian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 6 baht per kilo don't look for any new bags again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtreelove Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I used to buy burlap sacks from a local ice shop in Sanpeesua, Chiang Mai. Cant remember price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
