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)
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
