WHAT ARE BURLAP SANDBAGS

Burlap sandbags are made from a dense woven fabric, from the skin of a very fibrous plant called the jute plant. Because of its high fiber content, these burlap sandbags are incredibly durable and resistant to water seepage.


Due to their high resistance to water absorption, burlap sandbags work great against floodwaters and other spillage.


Burlap sandbags can also be used for providing some extra vehicle traction when necessary during the winter. Place some filled sandbags into your truck bed or trunk and you’ll notice quite a difference on the road.


Our sandbags can come as empty or filled sandbags, depending on your need. They are also seal proof and come with their own ties for closing them off.

How to Use Garden Twine

June 8, 2021
Gardening twine is one of the most useful tools in a gardener’s tool box. However, newer gardeners might not be aware of the broad uses of twine in a garden. Twine is a durable, light thread made up of two or more strands which are twisted together resulting in increased strength. We’ll cover how someone might use twine to support their plants and what the best practices are for doing so.

Preventing Weeds With A Burlap Layer

April 26, 2021
It’s Springtime again, and that means landscaping and gardening are back in full swing. However, before you lay down new mulch or soil, consider adding extra protection against weeds with a burlap sheet. Weeds can be a nuisance and can get worse as they grow and spread. Mulch and gravel can deter some of the weaker species but they aren’t perfect when it comes to more tenacious plants. A burlap layer can provide a screen that blocks unwanted weeds from robbing the nutrients from your soil. This, in turn, allows your plants to flourish.
