Washing Your Blossom Bags

As someone who bags my blossom to get purer seed, I also look after my bags too, as they tend to get dirty quite easy. Although they were washed when I last used them, Jan has washed them again so they're clean to start the season off with.

When using bags, the pollen from the flower truss accumulates in the weave of the bags and the best way to clean them is with warm water with some bleach in it, which instantly releases the pollen and also sterilises your bags.

These bags come in a variety of sizes and it's up to you as to what size you prefer, for me it depends on the fruit size of the variety you're bagging.
