Probably going to hit the hornet's nest with this one.......
I read about salting small square bales of hay.
Does it work, how does it work?
If the salt pulls moisture out, where does it go? The salt is between layers of hay, so it would seem to me the salt would accumulate a collection of moisture to one area of the bale and dust/mold would occur there.
Help me understand the mechanics/chemistry of salting hay and how it works. Or if salting is a big myth when it comes to preventing dust and mold in hay and with it another unnecessary expense.
I use marvel mystery oil in the lawn mowers and garden tractors, don't know why it works, if it works - but enough folks swear by it that I see no harm in using it - inspite of no university published data that I can find showing it is beneficial. I have the same impression of salting hay - have yet to find a Penn State or UKY study recommending the benefits of salting hay, but do find info on buffered propionic acid. However, just like marvel mystery oil, salt has many many advocates, so there must be something to it?
