Source for cheap 5/10 gallon burlap bags?

[Gargoyle91]

Anyone got a good source for burlap bags? The one's I'm finding are close to $3.00 each. These plastic ones suck always soggy bottoms.

I don't know about burlap but wally and aldi bags aren't very expensive I don't believe.

I thought about wally bags but I got 50 some plants in 5 gallon plastic bags, Those wally bags look close to 10 gallon and I'm done with buying dirt this year fricken dirt gets expensive .

You could cut them shorter, or just not fill them all the way up... Just an idea, simple but effective
 
 
 
Edit: I just googled to see what people are doing with the bags (I haven't used the wally bags myself... yet) and I noticed this pic where the guy from Youtube just folded it down into itself. Looks pretty decent

I would of used wally world bags again this year but my wife hated to look at all those blue bags in our back yard. Happy wife, happy life.

Green House Megastore also carries root pouches ( we were talking about them for shade cloth earlier !)
 
They have 5 gallon pouches with handles for $2 or 10 packs for $15 ( http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/root-pouch-grey-fabric-pot-3-4-year/grow-bags )

I've used these the past couple seasons and they work great.  I was actually going to buy more soon, hopefully they get them back in stock.

Yeah it's pretty late in the season - they do have 5 of the 7 gallon @ $3.25 each or 21 of the 3 gallon @ $1.75 showing in stock ( not enough of either for the bulk packs so you have to order individually.
 
Actually just noticed they have another color that is supposed to be heavier duty and longer lasting for $25.00 for a 10 pack of 5 gallon in stock.

Home Depot bags are .50 cents and around 6 gallons I believe. They breathe fairly well. Only problem is that they tend to only last for a year or two max in full sun IME. I use 5-6 buckets with holes drilled for my containers for dependability.

You could just go looking for hollowed out trunks, like this one
 
I love this pot, so natural looking (it's made from 100% naturally hollowed/aged tree, and cost = $0)

I use poly grow bag 7 gal.  (box of 400 for 129.00) they are 50 cent each

Back to OP...  Burlap will compost VERY quickly.  I'm not expert on growing in natural fiber, but when I did it, they were plant food within weeks.  May want to listen to the others and go a more synthetic route.
