Title: wanted - stale square straw bales - Stirlingshire will travel a wee way
Post by: Izzy on August 02, 2011, 09:14:53 pm
Are you needing rid of the dregs of last year's straw before the forthcoming harvest? Get that shed tidied now!

I'm having a party in 4 weeks and would like to have some outdoor seating. Bales seem like a good idea. I have a wee trailer and could probably manage 6-8 square bales. Ideally they'd be free of charge but if not I could make a contribution to the charity of your choice.

I get some from a local farmer just off the Kincardine brige,  I shall look him up again but he has square bales and they are cheap!!!!

I want to weep!

1.  We recently paid £2.70 a small bale for a lorryload of straw.  Fabulous clean barley straw, mind, but even so - ouch! 

2.  On Sunday we could've come home via the Kincardine bridge - if I'd have known, I'd have had the trailer on the back and detoured!  (Not really.  But I am soooo jealous of the quantities of straw you Scots can get your hands on!  It's £90 a ton here now, in big bales. :o)
