We're thinking of planting strawberries in a high tunnel using black
plastic on the beds to cut down on weeds but I'm wondering if the beds
will get too hot in the summer. I guess white plastic is an option
too. Almost am a bit concerned about slugs and how that might affect
them. We are thinking of cutting 4 inch holes in the plastic so
perhaps a circle of sand around each plant would discourage the slugs.
