I use 6' DeWitt Professional Fabric Mulch on each side of my planted tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons. I use 3' Fabric Mulch on each side of spinach, beans, and most other plantings. It stops fusarium wilt because there is only a narrow strip where the plants are unprotected and fusarium is spread by rain splashing dirt onto the plants. I buy my fabric from Gemplers at www.gemplers.com, I buy my pins to hold the fabric from www.mellingers.com; I also place straw around my tomatos so the sun's heat does not damage the tomatoes.

It seems we have a case of fusarium hitting our cucubrits, spinach and
one planting of snow peas (though these seem to have recovered and are
producing pretty well). We know which soil effected and we need some
solutions to eradicate it. what crops can we plant there for a few years
that will not succumb or is there a biological that we can inoculate the
soil with?

At any rate we have a lot of wilt with the melons (some of which hit
before transplanting-could this be transmitted by slugs?) and cukes.
