- Black plastic mulch makes it easy to plant and maintain beds
- Perforated 3" planting holes make it easy to space plants properly
- Ideal for use in raised beds
Grow vegetables the way the professionals growers do, in beds protected with black plastic mulch. It suppresses weed growth, conserves moisture and warms the soil — especially helpful for heat-lovers like melons and peppers. Foliage and fruits don't come into contact with soil, which minimizes problems with soil-borne diseases. Also conserves water by retaining soil moisture. You can also install a soaker hose underneath for easy watering. Plastic sheet is 25' L x 4' W with perforated, 3" planting holes -— pop out only the holes you need. Holes are spaced about 8" apart, with approximately 120 planting holes in all.

Spacing is excellent and also lets you interplant marigolds and basil to keep bugs away. Really keeps weeds and weeding to a minimum. Wish this came in red for my tomatoes.

Being desperate for an edge in my battle against the weeds, I thought I'd try this plastic "mulch" in my raised beds this year. I was pleased to find its width is more than adequate for my raised beds, and that the pre-perforated planting holes are spaced fairly well and offer different spacing options. The perforations are easily torn, but do not generally tear when I don't want them to.
My primary concern with this product is that there is no water penetration whatsoever - water pools up on the plastic. While adequate water might filter in through the holes where the plants reside during rainfall, I don't think that will be the case - thus, beds with this product install will likely need manual watering.
With proper care, I could see the plastic mulch lasting more than one season.
All in all, I would say this product is worth the price.
