Last year was the first year we switched over to plastic mulch and LOVED IT!
We did our six other beds on the side of our property last year. This year we decided to do the beds on the front lawn. These are much higher the the previous beds we did. I'm noticing that the plastic is not as tight as I would like it. I saw that the tighter it is the quicker the soil warms up. I've watched a lot of youtube videos and researched a bit but cant find out if I'm supposed to pack down the soil prior to putting the plastic down. We got heavy rain after and it seems some of the soil is compressed a bit under the plastic. The plastic wasn't in a roll, it was folded up, not sure if that makes it harder to get tight or not.
