Anyone built a raised bed shaper with a plastic mulch layer?

Way wet today, but it did ok, disks kept getting bogged down with mud!

Having a touch of trouble getting it to stretch tight and cover on one side. Hoping dryer dirt makes it work better. It is getting the job done but I would like it to do so smoother.

put more tension on your plastic so it pulls out harder, If your ground isnt perfectly flat you will have to adj covering disk different on the low side,on mine it takes more angle on the lower side but you gotta make sure you have enough weight to hold it down when you do that

Ok, I added a 100 lb weight to each disk because that is what I had. Took that to move the heavy wet ground. I ended up with more plastic on the sides than planned. Every now and then the extra width rolls out above the dirt coming off of the disk, have to shut down relict and reset. I will try more tension.

I need to come up with a way to tension the plastic, may move the centering stops tighter onto the cardboard center. I thought it might be too tight because when I start it really stretches. Then once rolling does fine.
