Success StoryPlanting a garden in plastic mulch



Planting a garden in plastic mulch

Author: William Rogers

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: KSU Small Farm Program

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Plastic mulch is one of the most upcoming ways to plant your plants today in the flied. This way makes it easier to take care of the plants because you can control your water uptake and the weeds that are around the plant. People in the county that I work with had not seen this before and people were reluctant about using the plastic. So I put some out at the Extension Office for people to see how to use it. After people saw how it worked and how it cuts down on labor in the field, there was a lot of interest from local growers; I’ve had about ten people interested in using the equipment next growing season.
