Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to vacuum package their hay and/or pellets for long term preservation and storage? I own a Food Saver vacuum package machine, it's kind of like this one: http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-V22...TF8&qid=1390254912&sr=8-1&keywords=food+saver, except mine's an older model. I thought that vacuum packaging may be helpful in preserving food and hay long term, but I wasn't sure if it really would be beneficial (do pellets or hay still spoil even when stored in zero oxygen?) I also thought that it would be helpful in protecting hay and food from mold and moisture? I'm just curious about the topic. What do you guys think, do you think that vacuum packaging could really preserve food and/or hay for extended periods of time, or do you think there is no difference between vacuum packaging, and storing food in a regular Ziploc? Thanks!
