Our black plastic sheeting comes in many varieties . sizes . and mils and can be used in landscaping . organic gardening . construction . and general protection against dust . moisture and dirt. Black plastic visqueen is ideal for garden solarization because it is a strong absorber of sunlight and gets very hot. Garden solarization is the process of completely covering a section of turf with non-porous plastic to prevent anything at all from growing. Furthermore . the extreme heat generated by the black plastic gets rid of any aggressive weeds or rhizomes underneath the plastic. This is helpful in gardening because it allows for a complete 'reset' of a given area and can get rid of and prevent the most bothersome of weeds; like Bishop's weed that multiply under the ground with rhizomes. Solarization is often the only way to get rid these kind of aggressive weeds short of replacing the soil. Solarization is also used in farming to decontaminate soil and rid the soil of bothersome organisms in preparation for planting. Usually 4 mil plastic is sufficient . but if the installation is long-term or subject to harsh weather conditions . you may want to consider 6 mil or 10 mil instead.
