    You all have really inspired us and we are already preparing for next year. We had a fatal mishap early in the season this year maybe caused by winter road maintenance close to the store we bought the bales from. Anyway, we will be getting more bales for next year from a farmer shortly. I am in zone 5 and I am wondering if we can set them up when we get them or keep them covered in the spring? Will they break down too much through the winter months? Should we set them up and loosely tarp them? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

    Thanks so much,

    Connie
