Poly the Diva! Agriculture advantage or Holy terror!
Two rows of Poly one, nice and tight, one not!
So, the one on the left, the poly roll was too high off the ground. The one on the right, the poly roll was low!
Confident that we have conquered Poly! Little did we know, she wasn't done with us yet!
This is what it will look like at the end of a row. Put mud on top to hold down the poly before you cut it! There will be excess mud at the end of the row, unless you figure out how to do this without pushing mud. Use the excess mud to pile on the poly at the end. Cut the poly then the drip tape, if you need to cut it. Leave lots of drip tape at each end.
This chain needs to be lengthened as you go to keep the poly on the ground. You should buy carabiners to keep the chain from falling off. We bent part of the bar driving to the field, the poly fell off and we didn't notice. Luckily a friend of ours works in metal and bent it back!
The sway bar must be tightened until it is straight or the planter will wobble and mess up the poly. It also forms crooked rows if it isn't tight!

See this edge, no covered with mud, bury it! The wind will work on this and then pick the poly up and then you have to lay on it and get someone to shovel it down. That someone will be scrambling and you will be annoyed!
