Kelsey wanted me to send the professional pictures so we'll try.

Reed, no it's not plastic. It's a material that the water goes right through. It warms the soil and things grow twice as fast.

This is for Gabe. He's planting a garden and I wanted to show him how I make wide rows hilled up. You can plant ten times more crops this way. I just sprinkle the seeds all over the wide row then cover and twala it makes less weeds and more vegetables. Good luck Gabe!
