PLASTIC MULCH

(Continued from page 8
 with the University of Alaska Ex- pertinent Station.
 Dearborn said that the plastic was first tried at the Kentucky State Experiment Station and has been tested on vegetable plots grown last year at the U. s. De partment of Agriculture research center at Beltsville, Md. It con- trolled virtually all weeds except nutgrass, which has sharp pointed leaves able to pierce the film. Crops mulched with polyethylene during the dry season grew faster and larger and yielded more than similar plants grown without mulch.
 Locally, chickweed is common and will come through any slit in the film that will permit the emer gs'rcy of garden seed crops Dearborn said. Thus little hand weeding must be practiced even with the mulch.
 For those who use the plastic in dry regions, would suggest that the planted area under the plastic be in a depression 50 that any raiafall would run through the plant slit and water the crop. In wet regions l would sug- gest the reverse; that is, mound the row 50 that the rainfall runs away from the plant stems. In windy regions care must be used to keep the mulch in place"
 TO cut the cost Of mulching home garden plots with plastic, Dearborn agreed with the Belts vile specialists that strips of film be used, rather than attempt ing to cover the whole garden surface. Directions come with the film packets, which are avail able from most local hardware stores.
 The soil should be fertilized and thoroughly worked into pulver- ized condition before it is coverd with film and the plants set in place. If it is necessary to feed later, fertilizer in solution can be poured into the opening around each plant through holes punched In the film or along the edges of the covered plant bed. Tn this way it will soak in as rain does when it falls on the film.
 At the Beltsville testing station, researchers found that in the un- mulched plots in the heavy silt loam soil, the plant growth was re- tarded during the dry season. But soil beneath the polyethylene mulch remained moist, porous and loose. .
 Il think the plastic is worth while especially on tomato, pep her cucumber. summer Snuash and possibly strawberries" Dear born said. More details can be ob- tained by writing the Information Office, University of Alaska Ex- tension Service, Box B, College, Alaska, or by contacting your To- cal district extension agent.
