Judy Smith, reporter Black Plastic Mulch Finds Favor For Use On Vegetable Crops Looking for a way to get out of hoeing weeds in your garden this summer? Try using black plastic mulch, suggests R Ralph Clark, extension horticulturist at Oregon State college. Mulching using a layer of sawdust, straw, grass clippings, or other material to cover the soil has proven quite helpfil in controlling weeds in the past. And something new and very effective for this purpose is black polyethylene plastic film, Clark FOLLETT MEAT CO. Hermiston, Ore.

In addition to helping keep weeds out of garden rows, the black plastic also lowers water losses from the soil so that it's often possible to use fewer irri gations or sprinklings on gard en crops. Tests at the OSC agri cultural experiment station and the USDA research center at Beltsville, Md, also indicated that vegetable crops mulched with the black plastic in 1957 arpw faster and larger, and yielded more, than plants with out mulch. The black polyethylene plast ic film is available in rolls at most garden and hardware stor es, Clark said. The material comes in several thicknesses, and may be used for several years if handled carefully.
