If you are talking a small square bale, yet I'd go with the pitchfork. For a large round bale it might require mechanical intervention in the form of a straw blower. I'm actually going the other direction here. Used an antique hay knife to cut open a partially frozen round hay bale yesterday.

ReplyDeleteThe blower/chopper makes a nice fluffy mulch. It did a nice job but was not worth the amount of effort.
DeleteYou should start making some in your shop and sell them as the newest invention, Ralph. A lot of folks woldn't know any better! lol
DeleteI like the idea of chopped straw. The voles made homes under the straw I spread last year. I kind of made a giant hamster home for them.
