Covering uncultivated ground with silage tarp for the summer worked really well and made planting garlic this fall much easier than before. It has been raining for a week, but the soil under the tarp was not soggy at all and easy to till for planting. We planted 840 cloves to the beds covered with same plastic which was used with previous harvest. Next summer I will cover a new area of the field with the tarp to get weedfree spot to make my vegetable beds. Now we just folded over the tarp and uncovered only half of the area, rest is saved for spring time.
