Hays/hayeeds down wellies -how to prevent

[Rose Folly]

In the happy days of small bales of haywith flaps it was never a problem. But my future is with big round bales of haylage, and I sometimes think there's more in my wellies (to which I'm deeply devoted) than in the nets. And the filthy mess when I pull my wellies off in the porch....

Has anyone got any good ideas? Wearing jeans outside wellies works, but then if I go out into the mud of the field I'd have hop around tucking them in.

It can't be rocket science - just that I'm being thick! So any solutions welcomed - except getting rid of my wellies!

Waterproofs are my favourite bit of gear, they go over my johds and boots and keep the rain off/ get muddy so underneath i'm clean and it stops me getting hay/seeds in my boots. Doesn't stop the rotten stuff going down my top or in my hair tho

If you wear baggy tracksuit bottoms and pull them up at the knee a bit they cant get in (they kind of mushroom over the welly), this is my only way of stopping them but like you say there must be a better idea!

Harry Hall Coveralls, just dont tuck the legs inside wellies.
Brilliant garment, I have 3 pairs!!

ive cut the feet of my OH's old socks (when the toe or heel goes though) & pull them up over the welly leg & up onto my legs then gaffa taped the lower bit to the welly.
fold up onto leg when you put them on & just fold back down when done to remove boots.

Easy & cheap too :0)

Buy the Helly Hanson wellies for sailing, they tie up at the top and are also ultra water proof and the soles grip well as well.
