I fill mine with cow **** and use it on the veggie gardens.

What I want to know, is how many sacks do you have after 'a few months' ??? you must be brewing some seriously big batches?
Not sure what that's got to do with anything.

I just think it would be good to put them to use again if possible, if that's 1 or 1000 what does it matter?

FYI I've thrown out 5.

Ok now there's an idea, little loop and slip them of the steers tail, collect the next day! :p

Great ! Big mobs of cattle around here too. ;)
 
Might need a bit of tinkering, but it could work.

If anyone in western melbourne has any grain sacks they want to get rid of I'll happily give them a home. More than happy to exchange a couple of my finest......

Congratulations on your wedding!
 
They are built to degrade, so not much use for anything long term.
 
Guys, just take your empty sacks down to the local creek catchment care group - they will use them to put weeds in. That's where all mine get used (along with putting firewood in on camping trips), as well as dog food bags and chicken feed bags.

Good idea Snow, I also wonder if Clean Up Australia Day could do with some.
