Solar Mulching Film (4' X 50')

Solar Mulching Film (4' X 50')

Warms the Soil and Suppresses Weeds

This Solar Mulch is a "hybrid" product that provides the best qualities of both clear and black mulches. Solar Mulch offers the increased soil warming of clear mulch, along with the weed suppression of black mulch. By utilizing a carefully balanced blend of polyethylene with a specific light modifying pigment, Solar Mulch transmits 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). Therefore, Solar Mulch generates almost as much heat as clear mulch and suppresses weeds like black mulch. This is a win-win development for growers.

  • Great for heat loving crops like melons and cucumbers
  • Soil warming of 8 - 10° F
  • Weed suppression
  • Easy field removal at end of season
  • Conservation of water
  • Made of 1.0 mil high density polyethylene

    Needs strong sunlight

    I was eager to plant early in the spring (aren’t we all!) but I didn’t really think about how much this product would need lots of direct sunlight. In early spring, the sun is lower in the sky where I am so this solar mulch wasn’t quite the miracle I wanted it to be. It could get things up 5 degrees when it was really cold, but later in the spring I had more luck with transplants.

    Amazing!

    This product warmed my soil ten degrees in 24 hours. It allowed me to plant my warm soil plants in abnormally cold weather. And they are thriving despite our cold spring.
