2024. The next step to prepare for the patch for 2025 was solarization. This is a non-chemical way to (hopefully) sterilize the soil using trapped solar heat. Clear plastic covered the entire garden through the summer months to trap heat and try to kill off any pathogens. Mid-summer the plastic sheeting was removed, and the soil was tilled. Then new plastic sheeting was reinstalled shifted over a few feet to cover previously exposed areas.
