Agricultural plastic mulch film is laid over raised beds, with crops planted through holes. It blocks light so weeds cannot grow, cuts water loss from the soil and keeps soil temperature more even. It also keeps fruits off the soil, which reduces rot. Vegetable growers use it for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, watermelon and strawberries, usually with drip lines under the film. Each roll is 300 metres long.
