Really appreciate you taking the time to document this process, it’s often stressful enough just “doing” the job, never mind taking the time to record it, so thanks again.
Next, you will be getting a mulch roller that you can lift the plastic with. The higher you can lift the plastic, the more soil and sand it will throw off as you roll if off.
I watched it twice and at no time was there a closeup of the working end of the lifter. Meaning, it would be nice to see a closeup of the cutting blades and the lifting bars.
I tried your weighted barrel method for lifting 6-year-old plasticulture. I only change one thing since our lifter would only accommodate an upright 55-gallon plastic barrel. Instead of water, we filled it with sandbags. Worked like a charm. Thanks again
I’ve got a couple more questions for you. What is the make and model of your lifter? And did it do well on the watermelons and squashes and other vining crops your had? I need to get one for myself and am in the market for one.
@@CherryHillFarm that makes sense... was looking to trial some new tech here downunder and I remember they have a section on their website where you can fill in your details if you're interested in doing either trials or purchasing, pending if they have a distributor in the US. I havnt tried it yet, but I want to try a roll to see how it competes with other plastics. they've won some awards for this tech...have a read if you have moments to spare. www.hydroxtech.com/contato-1

I can tell how happy you are about this. Glad for you.
What a lot of work cleaning up that plastic

That's awesome. Gonna try that this fall. Thanks.

I have several videos of lifting plastic. I'm sure there are some different camera angles on other videos
Thank you I have strawberry plastic that's been in the ground for 6 years will test this tomorrow.

A little weight goes a long way tricks like that make you money with the time you save

I'm interested in knowing what the brand and model is as well...Will you reply? Thanks for your content!!!
I also need this info!
Circling back to this question...Would you consider sharing the make and model of the lifter? Thank so much for your time with this video!!
Have you ever found any snakes under the plastic. We foun 2 this year one in the spring and one in the summer.
We’ve rolled a few out while lifting plastic in the fall. Always small ones thankfully.
here in australia the plastic we use is biodegradable - assuming your plastic is not?? recent changes to there plastic degrades quicker
That's a problem for us, we want the plastic to stay in good shape as long as possible, we try to double crop as many fields as possible to save money

What do you do with the old plastic? Thanks for posting the video
Unfortunately it cannot be recycled and must go to the landfill
Is there a reason you don’t use the biodegradable plastic from Rain-Flo?
I've never heard of anyone having a good experience with it. I want my plastic to hold up well all season.
Awesome job! Check out the 'game changer' I just whipped up for work, on my channel!
I am a huge advocate of working smarter, not harder.
Why don't you brush hog the tops of your beds before you pull the plastic
I normally do and I did between the first and last plastic lifting video, I just didn't video it
👍👏✌
