I was wondering if you guys had ever used envirocord twine. We have been using sisal for years and sometimes we don't get back to move it home for over a month and the sisal falls apart. Wondering how this solar biodegradable stuff has been for you guys. Tried plain plastic string and it's ok but it seems like you always miss some and it's there waiting for you next year.

The problem we see with using it is if it gets buried in the lot or just in some grass the sun doesn't get to it and then it won't go away... Making it no better than the orange plastic

I have used the biodegradable also and as said it does not go away in a year as stated.

I've never used it. I'd actually prefer it wasn't "gone in a year", because a lot of my hay can be around for over a year or 2. So if it was "nearly gone" when I tried to pick a bale up a year after it was baled, I might be a bit pissed. If it was gone in 3 or so, at least it would be gone. I swear friggin' round bale string is going to be the end of me some day.
