I would love to see a picture or two.  Thanks   I saw some onions grown on black plastic this summer and failed to ask how the actual transplanting was accomplished, but so want to use this method next spring.

What method do you use when transplanting onion starts on black plastic?

I have a plywood piece with a 5 foot handle, looks a bit like a whale tail, 4 points

 

about 2 " long and 6 in apart, for punching the poly, and then I go back and on hands and knees

 

confirm the hole with a finger and then jab in the plug.  With increasing age I am down to

 

about 10 trays and hurry is no longer an option. nor is bending! Easier to do than tell!

 

I can do some pictures if you want, as I go on I am doing more on plastic, best thing I tried this

 

year was pole beans.
