What a great idea and one that I must try, not getting weaners until next autumn so plenty of time for fodder to grow.

Hi,probably a stupid question but how do you store fodder beet.Sounds like a good thing to grow,I have plenty of animals that would eat it.

If storing outside create a clamp (a bit like a compost heap) and pile them in, wants to be free draining otherwise the bottom ones will rot. Cover with a liberal covering of straw, don't use a tarpauline as the beet are still 'alive' and respire so need to breath otherwise condensation will cause them to rot. The straw is to keep the worst of the frost of them.
