I got a tip from a reader today about stuffing loose straw around bales. He uses tubes of burlap with a knot in one end and then stuffs them full of straw.


Once he has enough in place, he ties off the other end and then stuffs the cavity with the tube of straw. This helps eliminate all the loose straw on the site and creates a solid, tightly packed joint at the ends of the bales. Cool tip. Thanks Harry!
