The raised bed is perfect for the arrangement of spanbond. Moisture does not accumulate on it, it heats up better, the form is convenient for fixing for a long period of time. Speaks are dug around the perimeter to set the film.
After the bed is formed, it is covered with a black cloth. A bed of 1 m is made by a 1,5 m canvas width, a free piece is touched in the grooves of the edges in the middle. The roll carefully and gradually rolls out to the length. Fixed to the ground by rails, weighty pebbles or homemade studs. Instead of studs, peeled electrodes bent in the form of a peg for a tourist tent are suitable.
It is important to know which side to cover strawberries. The fabric is bilateral, one part is waterproof, it should be from above to protect from rain, bad weather. Now you should make holes for seedlings. Traditional variations are a cross. But experienced gardeners, often practicing mulching, say that it is better than the letter “T” - with a strong wind, the earth does not fall into the holes, and the plants do not bend under the hem. Cuts for a width of 5-6 cm, but no more.
For convenience, the marks are placed evenly. A cord or rope is taken and cuts with sharp scissors at a certain distance.
