DH and our oldest son built a hand hay baler the other day, following the plans at this website. They made this neat little bale of hay, the size of bales it makes will be bigger than this, but we didn't have enough cut and dried grass to make a bigger bale. It works really well. Our alternative to an expensive baler, and it should work well enough for our small acreage.
Everybody helping stuff the grass in the baler.
Then we plunge it all down.
Et voila!
We want to buy a true Austrian Scythe from this company and will be doing so very soon. Austrian scythes are very different to the cumbersome American scythes, and watching someone cut grass is almost as beautiful as watching someone fly fishing. Obviously it is too late to try put up our own hay this year, so we will be buying hay for Butterbelle for the winter.
