Hi Ian

I don't know about its properties as a mulch or compost, but unless you
want to really upset your neighbours I would check out the product first
hand or should I say first nose. 

Silage smells. Really nasty.
How cows eat it, beats me.

I guess if you buried it by double digging it might be OK but you still
need to handle it to do so.
Hope you have anosmic neighbours.

Regards
Stephen
