It won't be hay will it

 

[Bury the Trash]

Never done it but guessing that Yes as long as its done well, ie totally sealed and protected from further holes as time goes on?

Only want to keep rain off, why seal it?

If hay doesn't sweat a little it's straw imo

We've wrapped hay before if it sweats it'll just be same as haylage.

A ny holes even tiny ones on the round will obviously let water in

Ends a slightly different matter but might draw in moisture which then can't get out again.
I don't know .
But I think I woukd seal the ends as well if I was doing it.then it will.be airtight and water tight
Will. Need to stop birds landing on if as well,

To be hay it Must be made to proper hay , well dry.

Wrapping hay, experiences please.

Regarding wrapping round bale hay. I did some last year, partly because I thought it might be slightly too damp for hay; and the majority were opened as perfectly good sweet hay in the winter. Another batch however were not quite so good, many were good but several had a percentage of mould...

Some Old clamp sheet pulled over it after will stop damage

I've wrapped plenty of hay and it has been fine, I cannot see why a tube liner won't be fine too.

How do you do the ends with a tube liner? Never seen one working,

If it fermented like haylage does then it wasn't fit for hay, <15% moisture shouldn't allow a fermentation to occur.

Stick a wrapped bale in at the beginning and at the end

For hay and straw you leave ends open.

Stick a wrapped bale in at the beginning and at the end

And wrap over it on the round to seal up, , ideal .
