Do they lay down a heavy tarp for maximum heat or leave it open?

Do the roots remain in the ground, or are they removed?

Do you dump the topsoil to the bottom so you can dig up what's at the bottom and bring it to the surface? How deep do you plow? 1 meter or deeper?

Any roots remain and I’m mixing the perlite through the whole soil structure which is about 24inches deep.
