Re: [RC] bett pulp pellet question - k s swigartFrom: Terry Banister ebeyrider@xxxxxxxxxxx How much "cheaper"? It's same cost per bag here. The pellets come in a 50# bag, not 40, so, assuming the same cost per bag, that would be 20% cheaper Less space for storage???? A 40-lb bag is a 40-lb bag. A?50# bag of pellets is smaller (cubic inches-wise) than a 40# bag of shreds.? Don't ask me exactly how much smaller, cubic inches-wise...but the bag for pellets is pretty much the same length, and about 6"-8" less wide.? I have a metal trash can (40 gallon I think, but I wouldn't swear to it) that I can fit 3 50# bags of pellets in with a bit of room to spare.? I can only get 2 40# bags of the shredded stuff in it. Why would you have mold? _I_?have had?the shredded stuff come from the feed store moldy.? Beet pulp is pretty prone to mold. ?If it is stored in a dry place, Which is possible if you live in the desert, but if you live in a place with any humidity, the only "dry place" is something that is hermetically sealed. ?and you only buy enough for a month or two, Whereas, if I buy the pellets, I can store it for ages (like months or possibly even a year), so I can save myself multiple trips to the feed store...and thus save gas money too :). ?why would there be mold that pellets would not also have? I have ?never had mold in 9 years (unless you leave it sealed in the bag ?in the car in the summertime with no windows open for more than ?a couple of days). I can do this with the pellets without them growing mold.? I have been known to leave a bag or two of beet pulp pellets in the trunk of my car for more than "a couple of days' and even in the summer time. But I will be honest with you....mostly I buy pellets because they are significantly cheaper.? I am a cheapskate. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
