How to open a bag of seed

[SamDavis]

I've had a few people buying finches recently and a few have asked how I open seed bags. Funny how things that seem second nature do actually have to be learnt. Anyway I was going to do a video but then I found this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg2aYF1z1rQ which does a great job of explaining how it's done.

Thanks heaps, Sam. I have been doing this for a while but it has always been a bit hit-and-miss.
Now I can do it every time !!!! It's such asatisfying feeling when the string unravels

If it doesn't go one way, it'll go the other.

No patience and wrestling 30 kilo bags of seed in this heat isnt my idea of fun .
Stanley knife works for me .

If you open it properly, the bags can be reused. I have a friend who takes the bags and sells them.

I like knowing they are getting a new life instead of the dustbin.

Any good uses for the cut bags anyone? I use them to line plant pots to drain but hold in the potting mix.
