In your book it says that the best method for controlling temperature and suppressing weeds is mulching straw or plant material.
In my area, using plastic mulch is possible this rainy season, but of course the effect will be different in the summer. I plan for summer plantings using mulch from palm leaves, as they are available all year round and they are free.
What do you think about the coconut leaf mulch? In my area it is enough to be used on large areas of land.
Available. However, in the case of monoennial crops, the growth rate may be slowed. As a result of my experiments, Landscape fabric has the fastest growth rate.
