Thanks, Kent, good explanation! So then Mccallum, not knowing your setup, is it possible to use cut black garbage bags you could lay on the soil but not cover the desireable plants? The bags would have to be staked down somehow. I've seen farmers use a type of black plastic with cutouts for the good plants in smaller fields. Just a thought.
Edit: I'm wondering if a Tractor Supply store would have the type farmers use, if you need something larger than the bags.
