I have a HUGE loaf going. I also grow in Root Pouches and found solarizing ONLY in the EB is a lot cleaner and easier.
Marsha - we do have an advantage re: solarizing since we don't grow anyway in the hottest months.

Barb, do you put 2 EB contents into 1 bag to save on the bag expenses?
You are right, we do have a full summer free to solarizing vs the rest of the country. It's going up to 91F today, and it's just the 1st few days in April! It's getting hot so early now.
The 3 ply plastic is very good beds for me, I thank you so much for posting the link. I love the idea of bags not disintegrating.
