This 1.0 mil black plastic mulch not only suppresses weeds and retains moisture but it also keeps soil temperatures higher. Black mulch has been shown to increase the growth and yields of crops as it removes weeds from the immediate area and preserves all soil nutrients for the crops to use. This type of mulching material has been used for decades and has been proven to almost eliminate weeds, retain moisture and keep plants warmer which is great for season extension. 
 
Strawberry plants were also shown to produce larger berries when grown with this mulch. Field tests at the Agricultural Research Service in Florence, South Carolina have indicated that red plastic mulch suppresses root-knot nematode damage in tomatoes.
