Is the point of using the grass clippings for insulation in the wintertime? Maybe post a picture of the coop to see if it would work. I dont think they provide that much insulation. A blanket would be easier.

Hm, I think you may have mixed a few things up. Or possibly there are regional terminology differences. Curing, in regards to hay, is the drying done before it is baled.hay undergoes a curing process once it is bailed. If not stored and handled properly the bales can heat up and set a barn on fire! I think that has happened to my grandfather's barn, prompting them to build in a ventilation system. In the case of chickens, it might not matter, but you cannot feed fresh hay to horses. It must rest a few weeks first.
I do it on a very small scale - just enough for some variety of texture in the bedding. It isn't easy to do because the pieces are so small and homogenous that it is hard to get it dry.Hello, I am trying to store grass clippings for use in colder months. Does anyone have any experience doing this without having molding issues? I have a lawn sweeper and tried storing it in a shed after i thought it was dry, but maybe it wasn't dry enough. Or maybe the humidity in the air did it. Perhaps it cannot be done, but just wondering if anyone has done it successfully. The pine flakes keep going up in price so I am trying to save money. Thank you for reading!
