    What an awesome machine! It has always amazed me how creative and ingenious farmers have always been when it comes to machinery.

    @TwoHappyChildrenFarm I make all our beds in one direction with the tractor tire in my last furrow so the machine is set up differently on each side, because one cultivator is in the furrow and one is in virgin soil. One thing I can tell you is to set up your cultivator shanks in line with the cover discs at the rear of the bed layer--their job is to loosen the dirt for the discs. Also run your cover discs as close to the raised bed edge as you can without catching the plastic. Hope this helps.

    Does anyone know much per acre this plastic mulching service would cost a farmer if they didn't have this layer equipment?

    This is awesome I grow strawberries and other plants but certainly not on this scale it's a pleasure to see how you guys do it I do have one question though what do you do with all the plastic is it recyclable or how do you get rid of it with all the concern of plastic nowadays the reason I ask this is I would like to try plastic but I don't want to harm the environment either

    • @FrontPorchFarm

      Hello Paul, the plastic is recyclable, but finding ag plastic recyclers can be a challenge. There are also biodegradable plastics but they cannot be used for an organic operation.

    We do almost the same way. The only thing wrong with the bed fabric is the bugs love to get under it, then they are a lot harder to control. The drip tape works wonderful once you get the pressure regulated right and quit blowing it apart underneath the fabric. It won't stand much pressure.

      What is drip tape, and how does it work?

  • @soleilinox
    @soleilinox 11 лет назад +1

    hello. very interesting video. I am astonished you use only one drip tape in the middle but have two rows of holes to plant something in. is it 30CM dripping tape ? is it enough to water all the bed ?

    I was wondering how you made those nice beds in the prior watermellon video. Now I know. Amazing machine. Must have cost a pretty penny but it does a great job.

    Is it for strawnerries or watermelons? Maybe something else.

    • @FrontPorchFarm
      @FrontPorchFarm  5 лет назад

      We plant most of our crops in plastic mulch because of our short cool growing season.

    Question: Have you tried the red plastic that the catalogs say increase your yields?

    • @FrontPorchFarm
      @FrontPorchFarm  9 лет назад +1

      Dolly Perry We haven't tried the red plastic, but we did try the green once and found the weed suppression left a lot to be desired. Since then we have stuck with black, white on black for cool weather crops, and silver for Kales and Peppers.

    • @dollyperry3020
      @dollyperry3020 9 лет назад

      I've heard good things about the red with only the tomatoes...But I'm like you...It's such a risk that I'm not willing to take it!

    What setting are your cultivator shanks at/ have a 2600, still working on getting the edges covered nice like yours.

      Check them out at Rainflow Irrigation's web site.

  • @alan30189
    @alan30189 12 лет назад

    These guys are large-scale farmers. They obviously don't screw around. You can plow your fields with your mule if you want to and plant the old fashioned way. That's your choice. That plastic mulch eliminates the need to weed very much as well as labor and herbicide costs.
