blocks needed sunlight, and, at an extra cost, is available with ultra violet
blockers to greatly extend the useful life of sheets to more than one grow-
ing season. Summer is the most effective season, and use on wet soils
increases control. After removal, the bare soil is open for reinvasion unless
desirable revegetation is gained.
