Thinking is idea worth a look . Got a idea to use a forage wagon to pick up the straw in the swath and make a windrow on the headland and then put chicken muck on top and cattle muck on top of that them use a compost windrow row turner to mix it up .
Am i making work or making a nice friable nutrient rich compost .
I know some do it with baling the straw then just end up having to mess about cutting strings and spreading it out in a windrow thinking a forage wagon would do it and pre chop it or would it be a a fire risk with picking up straw. I suppose you can pick up the swaths when they are damp to reduce risks. Any thoughts people
