[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 151363, member: 220"] When we bought this place we discovered that the previous owner had fed cattle here for about seven years...and never picked up any of his polytwine. On any given day when there's no frost, you can find an end of poly sticking out of the ground, start pulling, and that will end up yarding chunks of sod out and about 20 feet of the original coloured twine. In the process of doing this, you'll also start up four or five different colours of twine, end up with a huge ball of the junk, and find you've spent two hours pulling twine out of the soil. Hate the stuff. We switched to sisal after the first winter here, and even though it's more costly at baling time, sure is nice not to be yanking frozen polytwine off ice covered bales every day. And then of course, always having to peel away the outer layer of the bale to get to the buried 'starter' polytwine. If you're determined to use poly, would suggest the bright blue stuff, as it's the easiest to see (and therefore find and remove)on a bale or in the snow. ;-) Just cut the sisal and walk away. Great stuff. Rots nicely. Take care. [/QUOTE]
