Tractorman810 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 try some cut up sissal rope for the straw paul, it should stick out easier as its a bit thicker than cotton, thats what i use as straw in my muck heap, mixed with coffee and compost from the garden, coffee gives the sicky finish when used on the loader or spreader, the compost give it some body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
