Soil solarization is an effective nonchemical way to control weeds and many diseases in planting beds. You trap solar heat under plastic sheets; the soil bakes, killing weeds and disease organisms. If maximum air temperatures stay between 85° and 95°, the process takes 6 to 8 weeks; if it’s cooler, 8 to 10 weeks.
