Garden Mulches/Films

Plastic Films Can Be Used to Decrease Surface Evaporation

Plastic films, like mulches, mainly decrease the amount of surface evaporation from the land. Depending of the color used, these films can also aid with the warming, or cooling of the soil as well.

Inorganic mulches, such as stones and gravel, roofing paper, plastic films, and/or insulation material can also be used. Remember that these mulches do not improve the soil structure in any way, but they are all satisfactory in their water conserving ability.
