Laying Beds

Laying Beds


Raised beds are covered in plastic and are called mulch beds. They cover the soil that surrounds the crops and help keeps the weeds away from the plant. They also cover a water line used to bring water to each plant.

This implement is called a bed layer.

           We use different colored plastics for different reasons:
           Black- attracts sunlight and speeds plant growth
           White- reflects sunlight and cools the soil
           Silver- repels damaging insects
