DH just finished my fodder system. We tested the drainage. Watered the top tray, which travels to the bottom of the tilted tray and drains into the trays beneath. The water continues to drain until it goes out the bottom. The trick will be to find the right place to put this. Needs to be in a cool place to prevent mold. I had to use wheat because I still couldn't find barley. Anyone know where I can get some 50 pound bags of cheap barley? We also ordered some shallow fodder trays that will be more durable, but will use these until they arrive. Any suggestion? Thanks.
