    No no problem at all as long as the first cut has gone into silage (ie don't re-open pit in the first coupld of weeks after covering it). Just build away on top of the first cut and then re-cover

    You might see a black layer max thickness 20mm when feeding, thats all. Don't be lazy when covering it the first time, just because you know that you will be taking it all off in a few weeks.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
