plastic mulch
Planting my starter green beans through clear plastic mulch
yesterday when I realized that it was very hot. Then I realized that a third of the beans that I had planted had their leaves on the plastic and that they were totally fried. I quickly placed mulch around the rest and they survived. This is a cautionary tale. -- Billy Bush and Pelosi Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0aEo...eature=related |
