i would agree. concrete walls or no walls. round Hay bales will be a mess to keep air out and keep the bales from buckling/moving/rolling out of place and making a bigger mess and more spoilage.
best bet is to hire/rent a bagger for the day. spoilage would pay for itself. plastic to cover a pile isn't free either.
best bunker i'd seen for spoilage was a concrete floor and dirt walls (BIG dirt walls) up in MN. not sure what they did to get it to work but it worked.
also saw a cool idea in WI where a guy had a 3 sided concrete bunk built into the side of a hill with a flat pad up on top. he'd run the regular self unloading silage wagons from the top pad into the bunk below and then move and pack it down. when it was full he would cover it with rejected chocolate from a local choc company and the sun would melt it in place and seal the bunker. no plastic to remove or blow away. he just scooped up the silage and chocolate and put it all in the TMR.
