The main thing i've saw is that they say hay decomposes...but so does straw. If I let the hay dry out before harvesting would it be fine to use? Maybe it is cheap enough it would be better to just buy it but I'd like to use everything I can from my property. Of course if we don't get out of this drought here in Texas I may not get much hay anyways.
Hi all,
So, Mr Rigg, did you finally try it?
Coming from eastern Canada, we are in a season where there are no straw available right now. I was therefore interested in knowing if you tried the hay and how did it go!
Thanks!
Colin
