My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Putting down plastic mulch inside and outside.

11 years ago

While there are many methods, techniques and tricks, I thought I would share how I put mulch down. This is 3 foot plastic 1.5 mil embossed plastic. Tomatoes are going out today.



I have been doing it this way for several years. I never have had any problems with it blowing away or flapping.

I do have a mulch layer, but it takes too much work to get it in the high tunnel. So I only use the mulch layer outside. Here is a video from a few years ago of me using my mulch layer.
