RE: Soil Solarization...The Natural way to Rejuvenate and Clear all WEEDS and FUNGUS in your Garden's Soil
Thanks for this @gardengirlcanada. I've never come across this before.
Is there any risk that beneficial creatures like earthworms will be killed in the process as well?
Good question. Will ask my senior gardener, and let ya know.
I lift up my plastic and there are TONS of worms! Anywhere in my garden I can find plenty of worms. During tte heat of the day they tend to go a bit deeper to the cooler soil but the other 12 - 16 hours they are all near the surface.
It definitely also kills some beneficial fungi & micro organisms. After using this method, I would put down compost or compost teas and do a mycorrhizae & effective microorganism soak to bring the life back. :)
Thank you for the tip.
