I'm writing from Angelic Organics in Illinois. I learned about this list from the staff at ATTRA, and we intend to use it as a research tool.

Briefly; We want to use red plastic mulch on our tomatoes, BUT we have been dissatisfied with the weed suppression provided by red-only plastic. It lets in too much light. We have in the past been able to source red plastic with a backing or underside of brown, but we can't find it now. Rain-Flo didn't have it, Lee Valley Tools didn't have it Who are the go-to vendors that handle mulch, and that would know. where to find exotic types ?


about me:
This is my second year at Angelic. My first year was spent on the field crew with some cultivating work and special projects thrown in. This year I am working in the machinery department, but I also have some computer qualifications which include rehabilitating and maintaining the website.
