Uh Oh

Houston we have a problem....................

Our old dirt bags are ripping. I think this is because they are not made to be sandbags but we where hoping to use them and cut costs. The bags we built the test wall with where old feed bags. The problem with them now is that they are ripping. We believe that this could be the due to the fact that they do not have "sun screen". Most of the bags that are used for sandbags are coated with some kind of spray that helps protect them from the sun. With out it the bags dry out and become brittle. I found this out when i was building the foundation of the green house with the bags from the test wall. I would pick them up and they would rip. I hope the new bags hold out to the sun.
