Marc Andresen 800 635-2247 They last well with rinsed lettuce in them at market, and then in the refrigerator for a week if I want. The bags last longer than the lettuce does. The ones I use for lettuce are gussetted - very
nice. # 5's (Dori, I think I told you I had gotten #10's - I checked, and
it is #5's) whose dimensions are 5x3.25x13" and 250 of them cost
$27.71.
I also tried some saran coated 140 K cellophane
bags - they are 98% biodegradable, as opposed to the ones above, which are 100%
biodegradable. I got them for selling earthworm castings, since the
earthworm castings soil is alive, and is just the sort of thing that breaks the
bags down. Sure enough, after 3 weeks, the bags started
biodegrading. So, now I bag them immediately before market, and tell
people that they will biodegrade in a few weeks, so be sure to use them before
then. Kind of feels like a James Bond movie, or perhaps Get Smart -
self-destructing earthworm casting bags!!!!! This one was #3, and costs
$27.33 for 250. The dimensions are 4x2.75x11, and they hold 2 pounds of
drier earthworm castings.
