With a bag, I think it will be practical to let the CO2 response seep out through the plastic or imperfect seal until it equilibrates in pressure with the air. It will take a few weeks to do that and that will enable thorough pickling to happen in a CO2 atmosphere. After that, the low level inflation should be maintained by the very low CO2 production in the silage during storage. As long as the bags don't flap about, the atmosphere inside should be anaerobic. Covering during storage is therefore just as important as ever. This is the next experiment. I'll tell you more in the autumn.
While this is experimental, two people are needed to work it out. Lifting a wilted grass bale and bagging it should be possible for one person, but tipping it in a dumpy bag may take two. Again, this needs to be worked out. High class products require handwork and perseverence.
