Solar Plastic Mulch

Solar Mulch is a 1.0mil "hybrid" product that provides the best qualities of both clear and black mulches.Solar Mulch offers the increased soil warming of clear mulch (8˚-10˚ F), along with the weed suppression of black mulch.  Our special pigment blend allows near infra-red radiation to heat the soil while it simultaneously blocks PAR (photosynthetic active radiation that is responsible for the vigorous weed growth under clear mulch). Solar Mulch is great for heat loving crops like cantaloupe, watermelon, and other cucumbers.For maximum weed suppression, plastic should be laid soon after tilling the soil.
