I want to add some mulch in a lot of somewhat close places for fig trees similar to what you're doing. How do you keep the weeds down especially with lines running everywhere? I see yours in this video are on top of the ground. I tried it with my peaches this past Spring running the same 1/2" poly, but to keep weeds/grass down, I was spending a ton of time weed-eating. Painful. So much so, that I removed the line so I could just mow and hand water the peaches now. Looking for ideas and the only thing I can think of is digging a trench to add it underground. What are your thoughts on it?
I run my mower at close to its highest setting and have not hit a line yet *knock on wood* but yeah it can be annoying for sure. I think I’m going to cover the lines with mulch one of these days and let them grow into the yard
Excellent video. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
