Description

The Plastic Mulch Layer (PML) is another useful and simple attachment for professional growers. This model adjusts to handle 3-foot or 4-foot wide plastic mulch and is perfect for laying plastic mulch over 30'' raised garden beds, provided that the beds are consistent in shape and size, and are not over 3” tall.



Compatible with models 749 and up, the PML lays plastic mulch and simultaneously buries the edges of the plastic on both sides to keep it anchored to the soil.



Using 4-foot rolls: 4-foot wide plastic mulch is perfect for laying plastic mulch over 30'' raised garden beds, provided that the beds are consistent in shape and size, and are not over 3” tall. If used on 28” to 30” wide raised beds, the plastic will fully cover the top and sides of the bed and bury the plastic at the bottom. If 4-foot rolls are flat-layed, 36"- 40" of plastic can be exposed.



Like any soil-working implement, this attachment performs differently in differing soil types, and needs to be adjusted accordingly. The "openers" (opens the furrows), “press wheels” (presses the plastic down into the furrows), and "closers" (close up the furrows to bury the plastic) are all easily adjustable horizontally and vertically. These 3 items must be adjusted in line with each other for proper performance. Additional vertical adjustments can be made at the tractor connection point, with several sets of flange connection mounting holes.



This PML is designed for use with a 2400' roll of plastic for best handling. It includes a set of “plow openers”, which are used for flat-beds, and a set of 12" disc-openers for use on raised beds. It has a "floating" connection point allowing the implement to follow slight ground contours and a small amount of side-to-side play for small course corrections. A Quick Hitch bushing must be installed on the tractor, since the unit's mounting hitch has an integrated Quick Hitch tang. Plastic Mulch sold by BCS America is non-toxic and PVC-free.
