Solar ShrinkTighter

SHARE

Solar Shrink mulch is not elastic but shrinks permanently in sunshine, conforming to the contours of the bed, providing improved soil heating, even on rough and uneven ground. The shrinkage results in a drum tight sheet with no flapping or movement of the plastic in the wind. This ensures that hot air and moisture remain trapped in the soil under the sheet.
