    Great video! I just don't think that the plastic keeps the heat off of the roots because black plastic actually attracts heat, just sayin…

    Glad to see you making garden videos again. Looking forward to upcoming posts. How did your carrots in a bucket work out for you? Seemed like a great idea.

    A great idea, do you poke holes in the plastic water troughth furrow? to water the plants.

    Good video Patrick.I use my home made row builder to cover the plastic on the edges and I have a wide adjustable spade in the middle of it to form the water trough in the middle,saves all that rake work.I have a 1968 John Deere 110 garden tractor with hydraulic lift,great time saver and makes it much easier.Looking forward to more of your videos.

    Hi Patrick.
    How do you keep the weeds/grass from growing in the areas where there is no black plastic? We have so much trouble with the weeds/grass that the veggies are struggling and being choked out.
    Thanks for the video.

    Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention we get our water from flood irrigation that brings many weed seeds. We may try to get it setup where it goes through a flexible tube like a small fire hose to water only the furrows with the black weed barrier/plants in them. We'll keep on trying.

    Can you tell me what brand of black plastic your using please? I'm not sure what to buy because all I've seen here is gardening cloth.
