[QUOTE="ploughman1963, post: 6964655, member: 165"] Sleeper pit walls with loads of old nail heads in them. 2nd cut goes on top of first. We have evolved to black plastic on walls plus oxygen barrier. Oxygen barrier, black sheet, secure covers, mats on top of first cut. 2nd cut, reuse oxygen barrier off first plus new one then black sheet etc , all folded with side sheets. Clamp blows up like a massive pillow- full meter above the silage so we know we get a good seal!. Zero waste (occasionally one of those nail heads beats us!) and saving in silage losses (visible and invisible) more than pays for the extra plastic and work. No, we don’t reuse any of the plastic- we cut it off as we move back through the clamp as it makes clamp management so much easier and therefore it gets done properly. [/QUOTE]
