Hi,
I am very interested in the silage idea as a way to feed my poultry in the winter. I have turkeys, geese, ducks, and chickens. I was wondering what your thoughts were on storing the silage in 55 gallon steel drums? I'm working on eliminating plastic from my homestead in the capacity of touching food - mine or my livestock - in any way. I have some questions...
1) Do you have to pack the container all at once, or could you add to it for,..... say, a couple of weeks to fill it as long as you added the product you mentioned between layers?
2) Do the containers of silage need to be kept warm?
3) Did the mold reverse itself or did you remove it?
4) Would this technique work with adding grass and other greens? Like dandelions, comfrey, other edible plants?
5) How much of the product do you add to how much green material?
Thank you for sharing such a great idea!
