Hi folks, I live in an area that gets 60-100” of rain between
early Oct and late June. My soil is heavy clay loam. I’d like to be
able to get onto my garden with a tractor in late fall and early spring in
order to work the soil but I’m concerned about compaction and other
problems working wet clay. I had thought to cover the ground with black
polyethylene plastic to divert the water during the winter but I’m
wondering if there are downsides to doing so. Would this negatively impact the
biota in the soil or cause salt build up? Could there be a negative chemical
interaction between the soil and plastic where contact is made? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Best regards, |
