Plastic Mulch - Mulch India

Plastic mulch can also help manage water. Since the plastic will prevent rainwater from penetrating the soil, you should plan to put irrigation under the black plastic. You can use either a soaker hose or drip-irrigation tape, which has emitter holes along its length and functions similarly to a soaker hose. The plastic mulch will prevent water loss through evaporation and may reduce irrigation needs by around 50 percent. The mulch also prevents waterlogged soils from heavy rainfall. With plastic mulch, you can achieve consistent soil moisture, which is loved by most vegetables.
