Abstract: An agricultural system includes an irrigation system, a mulch system including mulch material, and indicia disposed on the mulch material for indicating locations on the mulch material. The indicia include burial indicia, conduit warning indicia and plant spacing indicia. The planting spacing indicia are disposed in a triangular grid on the mulch system. The mulch material includes a hole for planting, a hole for a stake to pass there through, and a hole for a row cover support to pass there through. The irrigation system includes a drip irrigation conduit and a further conduit for transporting water to a further irrigation system. The irrigation system includes a fitting and a manifold for transporting water to the further conduit. At least a portion of the irrigation system is bonded to the mulch system, and at least a portion is enclosed and maintained in the vicinity of the mulch system by a sleeve.
