Re: Plasticulture

This is a step we should take, to be sure - especially with tomatoes. We tried laying it by hand once and I don't want to do that again - I want it hilled-up and stretched tight! We've been talking about a mulch layer for some time and would probably have bought one by now were it not for the drought. We have had almost no revenues this year - just a meager tom harvest in May. I'm doing all this irrigation work out of my own pocket (it's fixed infrastructure on my property), but I'll let the Gardeners for Jesus project buy the mulch layer.
