Make One Bale of Hay - PEP BB animal.sand.haybale

Just to clarify, we can only do this BB if we have a manual hay baler?  What if we carefully tie the proper amount of hay together?  Thanks.

Correct, the baler gives you a much more repeatable bale that will stack nicely and be easy to distribute/use.  Luckily there's a BB for making a baler in the Straw level

Making a hay stack could be a future BB someday...

There is alfalfa coming up in my orchard. So, my girls and I decided to cut it down and save some. Even though I bought a wonderful, new sickle, and I was excited to use it for this project..... my teenage son used it for something else and now I can't find it. oy! Anyways, so we used kitchen shears and a machete for this project.... haha! Sore backs now! I can see why a scythe would be a good investment.  We cut a few wheelbarrows full of alfalfa hay and laid it out to dry. Next, we stuffed it into a plastic tote and bundled it with yarn. I want to use something sturdier next time for the twine. But all in all, these 4 bales should feed our rabbits for a month over the winter. If we get a second or third cutting off these plants, we may even feed them through the winter!

Suit to my hand baler.
