oh yea there so is, apparently! I was asked to see if I could find some, and as I said, I googled, and came here cos you lot are full of info! As I was told, 'it has to be 25kg. The other ones the guy has a 20, 25 and 40 kg. He wants them all 25kg cos he wants to sell it by the bag. We were told, 'yea yer man down the road can get ya 100 bags for 16euros' but thats all the info we got! Suppose they don't have to be purpose made turf bags just any plastic 25kg bags will do!

Whats that advert on the tv where it shows two old men in the west of Ireland building a stone wall and this old woman comes to them with tea in a real old ireland manner - and then says she has to rush back to the house because she's bidding for something on ebay? That reminds me of you!

When your dad said he wanted you to look for turf bags, What he meant for you to do is to go out the back door, down to the farm yard and see if there are any bags folded up under the old tractor wheel thats on the ground beside the fertalizer spreader... not google it!

You mean you want empty bags to fill turf into. If you pay anything for these, you are a fool as its mostly fertilizer bags that used and there is no shortage of those around the countryside.

Also you mentioned, any 25kg bag would do. Now this could be a mistake. For example a bag made for holding 25kg of feathers would be a bit on the big side for holding turf. Ha ha.

Am I missing something here?! You couldn't buy "25kg bags" for turf. Each sod is a different shape to the next one, they have different densities, moisture contents etc. There is no such bag that would hold the same weight of turf everytime! The only way to measure the same weight of turf each time is to use a scales!

lol.


25kg bag is a standardised term us culchies use for a bag that holds animal foodstuffs etc...

although a fertalizer bag is roughly the same size its contents is 40kg..

To be honest with you, I am from what you would call "the country" if you saw it. I live in the absolute sticks, surrounded by agriculture, the nearest village is about 2 or 3 miles away. I have never heard that before.

I've done my fair share of turf piling and fertiliser-bag-related activities too!
