Pretty new to the predator trapping game. We used the coal shale NO BS sells last year with good luck. This year they were sold out but my son working at the hardware store picked up 3 bags of peat moss that had been damaged. it sat in the barn all summer and is pretty dry. we broke open the 3 bales and spread them on a tarp on the shop floor. What size container do I need to store 3 bales of peat moss? I have a metal 55 gallon barrel that had chicken feed in it. Think I could clean iy out and use it?

Trash can or burn barrel with a lid

WARNING!!!!! When you dump that stuff out it will EXPLODE! When the bag say's compressed, they ain't kidding.
Start with one bag to see how many containers you will need, and go from there.

I keep mine in a large tote after opening.

Once i dry mine i keep it in 5 gal. buckets with lids or other plastic totes.

I use plastic trash can with a lid

I use a metal trash can with a lid.

I just dump a bale in it and sift into a bucket to use on the line, refilling as needed.
I keep 2 buckets, one straight peat and the other a 50/50 mix with dry dirt which I use the most if it is not real wet.
