Silage Saver Anchor Bags
Our Silage Saver Anchor Bags are designed to help prevent silage spoilage along the edges of silo pits. The 3-ft. long, 6-in. dia. poly bags come filled with pea stones (stones don't freeze as hard as sand). Handles on each end make lifting the 40-lb. bags easy.
After your original story was published (Vol. 28, No. 5), some customers asked for a way to get the bags to stay on a high silage pile. So we've come out with a plastic hook that links the bags together. They hold the silage cover firmly in place and keep the plastic from flapping around in the wind. We recommend the locked-together bags be placed crossways over the pile, at least every 8 ft. or so.
The bags are UV-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees C. They should last up to 10 years or longer.
Aside from sealing silage pits, the bags can be used as pickup truck box weights for winter driving, holding down plastic or row covers in gardens, and holding down swimming pool covers.
Anchor Bags retail at $5.25 (Can.) per bag plus S&H. Hooks retail at $3.95 plus S&H. (Weaver W. Martin, 5384 Line 81, R.R. 4, Listowel, Ontario, Canada N4W 3G9 ph 519 291-3118)
