X-cut transplant hole 🌰 Propagation

Cutting an X instead of a circle in the Earth Box plastic mulch cover so the plant can be pulled through a slit and the four triangle flaps can close back around the stalk.

Jeremy prefers this to cutting a round hole because the plastic stretches when you rip it, displacing the plant from the intended spot.
