A cover for a mound of stored bulk material, such as a round bale, which has an outer surface and ends, has sufficient dimensions to cover more than 50% of the outer diameter of the round bale. The terminus of the cover closest to the ground or storing place contains a tie rope for passing around the bale below its diameter to secure the cover. An added feature is an end flap devised to cover both ends of the round bale. The flap includes provisions for tightening as the stored bulk material shrinks or changes in shape through storage. The flap will also contain a plurality of openings to secure the flap to the bulk material with a tie tool. The cover can be utalized on a mound of hay by the above method and including a tie tool which passes through a portion of hay with a rope threaded through the hay with the tie tool. The rope is secured to a plurality of openings in the cover to further secure the hay cover to the hay.
