How do you take a plot of land covered with grass and weeds and transform it into a nutrient rich growing site ready for planting? Biosolarization is a technique that leverages the natural heat from the sun along with the decomposition of organic materials to create a hostile environment for unwanted soil organisms, typically using a tarp or sheet of plastic.
Join SCG and Farmer Jason Hirtz of Box Turtle Farm for a two-part series on biosolarization and soil disease management using regenerative practices.
