Sorry to hear ur having burlap problems. I just advertised on Craigslist about a 100 new burlap bags FREE. Gone in less than 24hrs. So if I were you, I would look on craigs list from time to time for that, or better yet, they have a 'want' sectn. You can advertise that you are looking for burlap on there. Perhaps someone has some lying around & will give them to you. There are plenty of people w/animals/horses that get their grain in burlap bags. Im sure they have bags lying around.
I got mine when I ordered a fountain. They were used as packing material. Im sure you will get some that way if you advertise on there, good luck! Or ask a garden center if they have some. If they have some bigger fountains on display.

MM, thanks, the bag idea is a good one and I can already think of uses for those down the road. For now, I've made due with what I have in the landscape strips, which seem to be enough. Plus it will allow me to experiment on the distressing this year and not worry about ruining anything as it was rather inexpensive to purchase.
