Removing Plastic Mulch

We use thins strips of plastic to prevent weed growth, heat the soil, and minimize the risk of mold. Faced with the care of thousands of plants, choices need to be made. Methods that use machinery to cover weeds have greater environmental impact. And for indoor grows, the costs are astronomical - energy for lighting is enough to power 2 million homes!

It was essentially impossible keep the leading discs set at a shallow depth in order to uncover the edges of the plastic. Nonetheless, with all the wet weather, the soil was soft enough that the plastic pulled up with just the reel. We had one person walking behind and using a shovel when necessary. We'll see how it goes in the other field where the edges got buried deeper.
