For container gardening, the solarizing gives you something to do with the mix while you wait for the new season. I almost think of it as worthwhile storage.
Last year I only solarized a few of the EB b/c I was starting over with mix but usually I solarize them all.
I solarize mine from probably mid-July through Early/Mid-October when I do the transplants. The solarizing bags hold up well; even last year during the hurricane, the EB got tossed around but the bag stayed totally in place without any splitting/holes.
