Fall/winter cover for black plastic mulch

13 years ago

We are trying to get into the field earlier next year. Our biggest problem is the wet springs. Usually we have good temps for a month or better before we have an opportunity to get the ground tilled. This year we muddled in all the spring crops.

I was thinking this year about doing our soil tests and fertilizer addition in the fall. Going ahead and raising and covering the beds just as we would in the spring then covering it all in straw. That will protect the plastic over the winter from uv light and in the spring when we pull it back might help keep weeds down between rows.

Does this sound like it will work?
