Mild weather, plan of cattle being in out the window, cattle out for winter!
Due to my bad foot, I can't get to cratches to feed hay (pot holes in field due to cattle prancing etc! And any uneven ground brings tears to eyes. Have even had to forego my safety wellies due to their weight!) So, the lumps who are out are getting bags of hay dumped unceremoniously over some girders!
As most livestock owners are aware, even the nicest animal can be picky!!
So, they eat my thistle free hay, crap and tread on rest of it.
Which brings me to my question. My greenhouse "coffins" (wooden beds i had made to go all round the sides) need redoing. Can I use this hay? It would only go on the muck pile anyway, why not use it for the greenhouse?
I can gaurantee there is no thistles, weeds etc in it as my haybales are 4ft round and I strip them daily and handle them. I'm not screaming yet with spikes in my hands.I
Originally the beds were built up with wool daggings and bought in compost but all of that has gone now. Also, this hay is getting higher which means if I don't start to shift it now it's going to be much higher in another months time!
