This video shows Earth Tools owner Joel Dufour making a trial run with our prototype 4-foot plastic mulch layer attached to a walk-behind tractor (a BCS brand tractor in this case). We have offered a 3-foot plastic mulch layer for several years, but the 4-foot is something new, designed to be able to bury the edges of the plastic AT THE BASE of a 30" wide raised bed.
*The 3-foot layer is unable to do this, as there is just not enough plastic width...it only can flat-lay plastic on flat beds.*
The 4-foot will also flat-lay plastic on flat beds, leaving about 3 feet of plastic exposed. The basic use and adjustments of the 3-foot and 4-foot layers are the same. The tractor handlebars must be offset to operate these implements, since you don't want to walk on your plastic...the 4-foot layer requires the longest of the tractor handlebars to operate it, since it is so wide.
These tractor models would be: post-2008 BCS 852 & 853, BCS 745, 749, 945, 948, 750, and Grillo model G110.
