    That is an impressive show of fabrication, i built a small one myself years ago that i used behind an old Super A that i had, i designed it to connect to the rear tool bars but it was nothing compared to what you built there.
    There is just a sense of satisfaction that can't really be explained when you build your own stuff.

    Built one for my daughter but so far have not worked out all the bugs. Over engineered in some areas & under in others.
    Yours seems to work great.
    Thanks for the vid.

    What are the dimensions of your mulch layer (L X W)? Thanks. Looking at building one on my farm in SC.

    I would suggest a drop spreader for fertlizing. Might make your life easier.

    The row will be ok, as long as a snake won't break its back going down the row.

    Hi how big is the row and one row can cover how many hectare. How much cost a row

      You can hopefully use this to do your own calculations, the plastic costs .04 cents per lineal foot and the roll comes in 3,4,5 foot widths. the above price is for the 4 foot i hope this helps.

    Would you be willing to send pictures and a few measurements of your mulch layer

    I'm just curious as to how you irrigate.

      We don't usually we have very heavy top soils if I get desperate I can start a house running at the top end and it will fallow the edge of the row to the bottom, about 1 hour between resetting the hose. We halve a 28 gal per minute well.
