Grown for what Florida grows
Biodegradable mulch film matched to strawberry, tomato, pepper, and watermelon cycles. Lay it once, harvest, then disc it in. Nothing to pull.
How biodegradable mulch film works for Florida crops
Every crop runs a different clock. We engineer the film's field life to match yours, whether that is one short spring window or a strawberry-into-melon double crop.
Winter strawberries on raised beds
About three quarters of Florida's roughly 11,000 strawberry acres sit in Hillsborough County around Plant City, and nearly all of it runs on fumigated raised beds under mulch film from late-summer bed-shaping to the last March pick. Many farms then plant melons straight into the same plastic.
That is a seven-to-eight-month job for the film before any second crop. būmi's field life is engineered to your window, from a single strawberry season through a strawberry-into-melon double crop, holding bed integrity until you disc it in.
