DO NOT use hay or straw bales for skirting! It is a fire hazard, and attracts rodents & insects. Under certain conditions (heat buildup due to rot), spontaneous combustion can occur.
Yeah, you are correct on that. It's an old time method with lots of hazards associated with it. Not appropriate for K-Falls.
I was up in Fairbanks, Alaska a few years ago and spent the winter there. Some people up there do still use the hay bales, but not until October after it's gotten really cold.
