Does anyone have any info about soil solarization? 9 days ago I put 5 plastic
drop cloths over large areas of bermuda, and noted immediate (ie within an
hour) browning. The stems near the dirt are still viable though. At points,
the temperature under the plastic remains at 170 for as long as the sun is
shining. Will this eventually work? Do you know how long I should leave the
plastic on?
