Table of Contents
A sandbag is a bag filled with sand or other materials, commonly tied shut to contain its contents. Initially used as civil engineering materials for emergency flood control and at construction sites, sandbags have also found extensive use as agricultural materials due to their strength and durability.
In agriculture, sandbags serve multiple purposes. They are used to control water in rice paddies, either by creating waterlogged conditions or enabling drainage. Sandbags also help repair and reinforce agricultural waterways. Due to their robustness and lightweight, they are convenient for harvesting vegetables, collecting garbage, and storing tools. Hemp sandbags, known for their high breathability, are excellent for storing root vegetables like potatoes, onions, and rice. Additionally, they can be used to grow vegetables and flowers by adding soil to bags with drainage holes.
When selecting sandbags, consider the size, typically 20 to 25 inches for ease of handling. The standard capacity is about 55 lb, with some sandbags marked at this weight for convenience. Choose the type based on the intended use, considering factors like size, material (hemp or polyethylene), and UV resistance if necessary.
Highly absorbent sandbags are an alternative when traditional sediment is scarce. These expand upon soaking in water and are lighter than conventional sandbags, making them suitable for emergency flood control and compact storage for household disaster preparedness.
