I've been seeing folks paying $5. per pound for those needles. I guess there's a lot of use for them in crafting: small baskets and things. By the pound would be a little more time consuming, but it's, easily, ten times more profitable than selling bales. Although, someone could buy your bales and sort them out into clean one, two, and three pound bundles to sell, and every body makes money.
Our family hauls a couple hundred lbs of pine needles to the dump every year, never knew they were worth money, but they are mostly white/pulp pines with short needles.
@@crazyadventuresandreviews i live in central wisconsin so they arent as valuable for that and there are other alternatives i think, hay bails of a similar size usually sell for a similar price of 5dallars or so. But neat contraption, thanks for the video, it maybe would still be a useful way to clean them up and haul them away.
@@MartinD9999 the local dump is free and has a pile specifically for needles/cones. There are so many large pine trees around that the needles are overwhelming. They would make up 90% or more of the compost pile and would probably make the soil too acidic, plus when needles make up the majority of a pile they really dont decompose well, insects, animals and worms dont really eat them, so piles can literally sit for years.
I used to go to our local state park and rake up pine straw in the parking lot and load it in the trunk and bring it home to put in our landscape beds.
We hauled Bees down to Georgia for the winter about 10 years ago. We could get bales Pine straw for dollar 50 that we use in our smokers. We got back up home to Michigan. One of the local places were selling them long needle pine bales for $9.50 a bale, and when I mentioned it a guy that I he was taking a pretty good cut on that he told me that he had to pay for transportation he didn’t know what to think when I said yeah, we thought about it cause the truck coming back empty from Georgia we would’ve had $.35 of bail and transportation cost from Georgia to Michigan he was basically making about seven dollars profit off each bale.
If you mix the leaves and cones with the straw you get a portal to another dimension and if u enter this universe u can’t return. You will be stuck in a parallel universe of unimaginable chaos and ice cream
Living out in farmville california. I see tons of money laying around the side of the road. People pay loads for the vegetation thats natural here. I dont want to pay the taxes tho.. lol...
Where who would I sell it to. I would be mad if I went out did all that work an can't sell the bundles. I guess I would have to be like the 3 little pigs an build a straw house.
@@knowideas7184 Actually its not easy at all. I wanted to know the same thing, so I googled it. Turns out its very easy to find out where to BUY these, or at least general mulch because that is all I got was a bunch of landscaping supply houses try to sell me stuff.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As a bored retiree, that is a legit way to get a couple hours of fresh air and sunshine and walk away with some beer money 💴.

I never heard of that, interesting. Thanks for sharing I learn something new everyday.
That's pretty good. Very creative.

In the south most people want long leaf for the landscaped beds, short leaf is considered trash or if it’s clean it’s sold cheaper

Your family dumps it!? Not converted to mulch or even allowed to fertilize the soil around the tree itself?
And doesn’t the dump charge a fee too?

People will buy anything.. we have seed pods come off our tree and I guess it's edible and people buy it to make flour out of..😂
Very cool! I'm now sitting on a million dollar gold mine! Hot dang! ❤
If u got a couple hundred acres and a few hard workers and a 18 wheeler u could do very well

Please edit this, it makes no damn sense what you’re trying to communicate.

@knowideas7184
😂 There’s maybe 3 periods and perhaps 2 commas in all that.
Good stuff.
Son, those screws are called screw eyes or eye screws. O-rings are round, flexible rings intended to form a seal.
What are the bales used for and why are leaves and cones bad to have in them?
If you mix the leaves and cones with the straw you get a portal to another dimension and if u enter this universe u can’t return. You will be stuck in a parallel universe of unimaginable chaos and ice cream
@@crazyadventuresandreviews What kind of ice cream? I hope it is strawberry. I subscibed
Clever build.
Should i use a poly bag or a padded mailer? ✌🏻💚🙏🏻

And for years i just been racking and burning them
Thanks sugar bear

I don't need to know how to make a bale, I need to know where you find the fools to buy this junk?
So I guess most people from the south are fools for using pine straw to insulate flower beds in the winter. U seem like a great guy. Bye
@@crazyadventuresandreviews Well I burn this stuff in huge piles, never thought somebody would buy it
@@integr8er66 not much of an apology, but we'll take it.

It’s wild asking a question so easily answered by the google on the internet…

Sit your azs at a corner with a sign and umbrella like the watermelon 🍉 sellers do.
Lov this ideal. ❤
Nice. Consider - be certain buyers understand you are not using conventional methods. The differences in bale weights can be significant. Stay safe.
It's a volume, not a weight product. For $5.00 a bale . For what it's worth to people.
