Default Red Plastic Mulch?

I live in far north of Wisconsin. For several years I have used red plastic
mulch for the Tomato Plants, to help accelerate production.

Has anyone figured out a good way to punch holes in the plastic for
planting?

I just use my planting trowel. It has a sharp point. I puncture the
mulch and then put the plants in. If the plants are small and the
mulch partially covers the leaves I tear the away the mulch.
