Reading through some of the facts surrounding vacuum silage. The weighting of the top sheet doesn't happen for a few days til the carbon dioxide is released and sealed. Is it practically possible to cover silage pit with tyres etc the same day as cover is put over the clamp?
If not , vacuum silage wont really be suitable for larger pits whereby you have to transport tyres up the pit as its covered. I'm quite interested in the process but I'm also worried about the practicalities of using strip seal in windy conditions. How easy/hard is it to attach strip seal in the wind , would the wind pull the sheets apart as fast as your sealing it? My biggest pit is 60 feet wide.
Would a generous overlap between sheets weighted down on top with a double or triple run of tyres/sidewalls/gravel bags be enough to withstand the vacuum?
