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.
