Frontbum 76 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Anyone else do it?, the field of wheat at the back of me garden got combined yesterday so out with the sacks that's me sorted for the winter lol do it every year. I know straw is only £2 a bale and I can get it free off a farmer, but I think straw is best before it goes thru a bailer.Anyway don't shop me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Farmer gave me loads a straw and hay a few Years ago. My ferrets ended up Infested with fleas an ticks off it...
