How to fill sandbags

If filling your own bags, please bring a shovel.

Fill the bags one-half to two-thirds full. The bag should lie fairly flat when filled. Overfilled bags are too firm and do not nestle into one another. Bags packed too tight make for a leaky sandbag wall. Tying bags is not necessary.
