Plastics help Watermelons grow... Say what?

Wish to prepare my farm like it 😀

Great video I have a question how do they pick it back up or what happens to the plastic after the crop is harvested ?

[@neilweisensel8396]

It’s a great question. This particular brand of Solar Shrink plastic is lifted from the ground, either mechanically or by hand and loaded onto a semi truck to be shipping to a recycler. It then is repelletized and converted into another useful product. Not all all plastics can be recycled, but Solar Shrink is fully compatible and proven to be circular compatible.

How would I find this plastic? What are the strips of plants in between each watermelon row?

What is the crop growing in the rows between the melons?

[@agmag_stx]

That’s just barley. Used as a wind break

[@grantdubridge7995]

@@agmag_stx Do they also harvest the Barley?

[@grantdubridge7995]

So jesse Wiggins didn't say anything about how this plastic benefits the plant only about his earth agenda. Only the farmer spoke of the more expensive film actually having a benefit to the plants. And of course, if there is a benefit to the plants then you have more profit even though the film is more expensive.
