Plastic mulch layer build

[Wright40x]

I’m tired of fighting weeds. I’m thinking of building a mulch lifter now. Anyone have one that could post a few pics of so I can get an idea?

Well that looks pretty cool…

Unless you have a large area to do a simple pipe through the roll works fine. The area needs to be weed free before laying out the mat or they will just lift it up. Some times a pre emergent herbicide is helpful before the mat is laid down. Be careful of any herbicide around existing plants you want to keep.

The pictures I posted are of the mulch layer that I built. I’m looking for pictures of mulch lifters

I’m wanting to build a transplanter, to plant into plastic. I have a rain flow mulch layer thats very similar to your build. Do you have any ideas?

Manual or a ride on?

Ride on.
I found one on the net that looks appealing. 3 point hitch with a water wheel and two people setting. We would use it to set onions , cabbage, collards

I’ve seen a few but I really don’t have a need for one so I really never looked much into them. They look easy to build though. I’d definitely start with a 3pt tool bar and go from there. Couple water tanks, cheap tractor seats and 30-40ft of tubing, channel etc and you should be in business. Could definitely save a pile of money building one.

Hers one that I built this year. I purchased the super wheel and built the frame. The tank is a 120 gallon fuel tank.
