That was good of him. Buying and storing it is always a pain for me. I can't store enough to buy in any big quantity or I'd load up on Timothy or orchard grass. One round bale would last me a year. Picture bringing that home in an S-10. Oh well it should make good mulch.

If you caught it before it went bad... and finished drying it out... I would think it would still be good to feed.

Getting hot simply means it was too wet when bailed, not that it was bad.

If you break the bail open before it molds, or rots, or self combusts, it should still be good

Thanks for all of the kind words!! If we have a rainy season this year, the weeds will show up in force. Not to bad for living in really dry climate. Temps still staying in the low 100s for the next 10 days...

We are in the high 90’s with humidity to match. From all the rain we have a bumper crop of flies and gnats. Gnats bit around my left eye and it swelled up, itched like mad and drove me crazy.

That's what I did and it feels dry. Sitting 2 days now in the sun on a big tarp.
Smells good. My biggest worry was using it in the nest box, afraid I would make the kits sick. Cool , thank you.

100 degrees wow. When it's hot here high 90's and the humidity is matching you get 2 showers. One in the house, one
when you go outside.
I'm with you on the bending. I'm slowly switching from bush beans to all pole. Hoeing weeds was always stress relief, I'm giving up on that and using cardboard, weed cloth, spent hay. Gotta make gardening fun.

Gardening is fun. -- on the first day it's nicely plowed. Rowed. Planted. AND on last day when it's mowed down. In between, not normally "fun". It's work! We just hope for a return with veggies. over the years I've had various set ups, tried most everything. Never had no weeds. Crops good and not so....but. There it is, still planting! It's an addiction, I tell ya!

At least it is a good addition, more productive and less damaging than most.

I just hated shoveling horse manure...and running from snakes.

 

[Mini Horses]

I'd rather shovel than run, in that scenario. lesser of 2 evils.
