The one shown shows water can get to the soil,I call it dirt,so what happens to moisture down there in the dirt?
When the plants get bigger, same story.
Have I ever used them,yes, ones that had no water entry to the dirt just once and never again.
So why did I do it in the first place?
There were all these claims about using different colored plastic mulch, that turned out to be false claims,the ones where you put a cone shaped plastic tent that had chambers you put water in so they'd collect thermal energy that would keep the plants from freezing, if that happened.
I'm just a curious person when it comes to new this,buy that.,etc.
