silage unwraped / or hay, straw (HOW TO)

[andrewstanford]

thought i would share with you how i make my round bales

what you need

sisal string (got mine from homebase it is sisal moss)

selotape

plasterboard tape stuff 

firstly i made myself a lttle thing to help roll my bales and it gives a guide to how much sisal i need to use

i then placed my sisal into the guide

roll it all up from 1 end to the other or untill your bale is the right size(make it tight )

put the plasterboard tape round it then secure it with selotape or something like that

tidy up the ends and thats it

hope this helps some people

That's how I want to make mine, if you wrap the scrim tape a couple more times will it close the little squares up a bit as they are a bit big ?

[andrewstanford]

with the tape i think it could be hit or miss but in theory it should work

I like the sisal moss, I have never even heard of that. Only seen sisal string before, I reckon you found a good little product for cut grass there. 

[andrewstanford]

yeh it works well

Another smart way to make bales. Looks very effective.

can it be dyed easily ??

[andrewstanford]

i supose you could bleach it ,might give a straw colour

[Deere-est]

You can buy it in a straw colour
