Mulch Is Not a Surface Decision.
It Is a Soil Decision.

Most growers evaluate mulch by season.
Serious growers evaluate it by consequence.

A mulch system affects:

• Soil integrity
• Long-term field biology
• Labor allocation
• Crop-cycle reliability
• End-of-season operations

Plastic choice is not temporary.
Its impact rarely is.

You have seen the promise.
This section examines the structure behind it.

We break down:

• What really happens to plastic in agricultural soil
• The difference between fragmentation and biodegradation
• How mulch behaves under real field stress
• The operational cost of removal
• Why durability must match crop reality

Because performance should be predictable — not hopeful.

Agriculture runs on margins. Soil runs on memory.

WHAT ACTUALLY CONTROLS DURABILITY
WHAT ACTUALLY CONTROLS DURABILITY

In compostable mulch, durability is engineered — not measured in mils. Structural stability, surface protection, and worst-case weather resilience determine real field performance.

Why Some Compostable Mulch Fails After Heavy Rain

Heavy rainfall exposes weaknesses in poorly formulated compostable mulch. Field durability depends on polymer design, stabilization, and resistance to moisture stress — not thickness alone.

What Happens to Plastic Mulch After Harvest?

Most growers remove plastic mulch after harvest. But what really happens to the fragments left behind? The answer matters for soil health and long-term field performance.
