That poly layer is working well. The one I have is a nightmare, was wondering would it work better if I had the potatoes in a bed instead of drills? Spend most of the spring with a shovel tightening up the plastic

I have another question. Was going to lay the mulch with my samco maize sower. It will do 2 rolls of mulch at the same time. However, the tractor wheels run in the middle of the rows pretty much. So my current concern is the ability of the the transplanter to poke into the ground after having the tractor drive on it. Anyone any experience with a cup transplanter? Thanks

won't there be a gap between the ground and the plastic. so the planter will poke it through the plastic but the plant will be sitting on top of the soil rather than in it?
