I keep a couple 40 lb chicken food bags full in the garage.
I cut my grass long enough and my mower will leave furrows like we used to rake in the hay fields and once dry, only have to grab a few bags once a year and like I said, refills are many times just laying on the ground down by the hives. It is very easy to manipulate. I also use any other thing that is most handy at the time.
Cheers

Yep gww same here, same hayfield scenario thinking. The reason I use the buckets is they are free from Kroger. (Empty icing buckets), I can pack em and stack em in the corner. Grab one when I go to my other bee yard and chunk it in the back. Mice can not get in them in the cooler weather.
I do not think Paus would mind me telling. He is the one who told me about pecan hulls. He said they smell pleasant and last a long time.
He gave me another tip about collecting them. He said go to a pecan sheller and they will probably give me all the hulls I would need. I am thinking I could store them in buckets too.
