I currently store my hay stacked three high on used tires and covered with quality tarps but I am always looking for a cheaper and more convenient way.
Does anyone know how effective storing them on a 6" gravel pad is? Four heavy truck tires per bale are extremely effective but getting off the tractor to place them and pulling them up from frozen ground is a nuisance.
Has anyone tried to cover a stack with 6-mil plastic sheeting or some other disposable material? The tarps I am currently using are expensive enough that I want to get a few years out of them. Managing them so I can take the hay out one row at a time and not destroy the tarp is a pain because they freeze to the peak of the stack and you have to keep the left over area tarp secured from the wind. My thought is that it would be easier to use a one time use material and just cut it off whenever I need to remove a row.
