Black Poly Mulching Film - 1 Mil Embossed (3'x4000')

Black poly mulching film is an effective tool for improving crop yields and extending the growing season. This 1 mil thick, embossed polyethylene film provides a durable, tear-resistant barrier that helps retain soil warmth, suppress weeds, and conserve moisture. Often used in combination with floating row covers, it can advance planting schedules and extend harvests by up to three weeks, making it a valuable asset for both home gardeners and commercial growers.

The embossed texture of this film offers greater strength and flexibility compared to smooth poly films, helping it withstand wind stress, foot traffic, and the demands of long-term field use. Its dark surface blocks sunlight to prevent weed germination, while also helping warm the soil in early spring or late fall. Gardeners can easily cut or punch holes to insert seeds or transplants at the desired spacing.

Ideal for vegetables, herbs, and small fruit crops, black poly mulch supports more consistent soil temperatures and moisture levels, leading to healthier, more vigorous plants. For best results, apply the mulch to a prepared bed and secure it along the edges with soil, landscape staples, or other anchors to prevent lifting in windy conditions.
