Yes they are. Although this winter my brother is planting clover on the main garden spot for his bees as much as anything.
The plastic I was talking about isn't what most people use. That stuff is terrible and gets shredded too easily. I live near one of the companies that makes the stuff body bags are made from. When I need to kill off seeds I use that stuff and then roll it back up, we use it for a lot of things actually because it is so durable.

experts who tried to donate black plastic for her garden.
