Black Plastic Mulching Film


Standard black plastic mulch film used in agriculture and arboriculture to eliminate weeds, warm up the soil, protect against erosion, and avoid fruits and vegetables from being in direct contact with the soil.
Using plastic mulching helps prevent soil from clumping together into a compacted mess. The material traps moisture and heat, which limits the loss of plant nutrients. Of all the mulching materials available in the market, plastic mulch is the most restrictive so it pairs well with a drip irrigation method.
Two Basic Types of Plastic Mulching
There are 2 basic types of plastic mulching: black polyethylene film and clear polyethylene. The black plastic film is ideal for eliminating weeds, warming up the soil during the cold season, as well as retaining the soil’s moisture. On the other hand, the clear plastic film works best for warming up the soil and encouraging faster growth early in the growing season. Clear plastic film, however, isn’t as effective when it comes to suppressing weed growth.
Most plants are temperature sensitive, vegetables, in particular, cannot stand the winter cold. One of the reasons why growers use mulch is to help the soil retain heat as the cold months set in. Inorganic mulch like plastic mulch warms up the soil up to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Plastic mulching regulates the soil temperature evenly, insulating temperature sensitive plants during the cooler months.
Plastic mulch is also effective in protecting trees and shrubs from winter damage.


Effective Weed Control

Is your garden plagued by weeds? If you don’t get rid of weeds every day, they will take over the garden in no time at all. Daily weeding can be a taxing chore for most gardeners, especially growers with back problems.
Plastic mulch suppresses weed growth effectively and it does so in a large expanse of space. When installed in the garden, plastic mulch prevents weeds from getting the sunlight needed for photosynthesis. When the weeds are deprived of sunlight, they die, which saves you the hassle of pulling weeds individually by hand.


Earlier Crop Growth


Using plastic mulching allows you to grow your crops early in the season. Because mulching warms up the soil, you can plant warm season crops up to three weeks earlier than the crops’ growing season.
The same thing cannot be said for organic mulch. Since plastic mulching does a better job of trapping heat into the soil, the soil warms up rapidly, providing the best growing conditions for warm season vegetables.


Higher Crop Quality


Want to grow high-quality crops? Using plastic mulching is key to better quality fruits and vegetables. The plastic mulch acts as a barrier that protects the fruits from getting in contact with the soil. This will inhibit the growth and spread of diseases and rot. And since the fruits are not in direct contact with the soil, they grow much more cleanly.


Reduces the Risk of Root Damage


Using plastic mulching eliminates the need for continuous cultivation except in between the rows of plastic. Since the soil remains undisturbed, the plant roots are able to grow and spread into the ground deeply and efficiently.
The fact is, cultivation is one of the major causes of root damage. But if your garden is prone to weeds, you don’t have much of a choice but to cultivate the soil. Using plastic mulching means the crops grow weed-free so there is no need to disturb the ground!
