I hear that in Flordia strawberry fields they have huge
pieces of plasitc mulch, that basically cover the whole field. Haven't seen it,
but it sounds appealing in some ways. Much as I don't like plastic, the soil
underneath is nicer than the exposed soil.

on black plastic the more I like gadening;
but we have still had the problem of the spaces
between rows. So, now I am wondering if
anyone has tried a weed block fabric to cover
between row covers. As in, lay black
plastic row covers and then come back through with
weed block fabric 8 - 10 inches
wider than the space so that it lapps onto
the plactic,temporari;y hold it in place with enough wire
"staples" and cover that with an inch or so of "pea stone" gravel to realy hold it in
place?
Your thoughts and/or experience will be
appreciated.
