White on Black Plastic Mulch is primarily used for a "cooling" effect. The white surface is laid up to reflect heat away while the black surface is laid down to prevent weed growth. Great for lettuce, cauliflower, and broccoli.
Increase yield and crop success with 1.0 mil White on Black Plastic Mulch. One of the primary factors that controls plant growth is light; and, in general, the more light the better. Better growth and higher yields are the result. Studies by Penn State University show boosts in crop developments up to 35%! With the white reflective mulch, light levels in the plant canopy are three times higher than with bare soil. White mulch has dual properties: light reflection and weed control since a layer of white is co-extruded over the black. Yet this embossed, high density mulch is only 1.0 mil thick. It is even tough enough to hold up under foot traffic during the harvest season.
In northern states where the season is short, White on Black mulch is a vital link in improving yields by increasing the amount of light available to the plants. In more southerly states where a summer crop is planted, White on Black mulch deflects heat and keeps soils cooler.
Please note: The white part tends to have a gray hue due to the black being on the opposite side, it is not a pure white color.

Additional Information
Advantages of using White on Black Mulch:With still limited experience, the film performed very well for me growing lettuces extended further into summer this year. It even helps keep tomatoes setting fruit in extreme upper 90's and 100F temps, I believe. Durable and easy weed , evaporation and heat control. Fifth star reserved for thicker product with extended life.
Before using it the first time, I searched the internet to see how to install it. Once I have it installed it looks like it was done with a machine except the row might be a little crocked. Soil should be a little moist not dried out so the plastic stretches over the soil and the soil gives a little. If the soil is dry it will not give. Using this, manure with organic matter and using a drip line system has produced some of the best collard greens and red russian kale my neighbor man ever grew.
I had challenges with another system. It was so difficult to work with, Injured both hands and had to have surgery on each of them. I needed something that my weak hands could handle but would do the job in my garden. This was the answer! I installed it in my 60'-75' garden with no tools, no fuss and no hand surgeries. It is so easy to work with. I'm almost 67 and have no hand strength. But I could work this. I very highly recommend it, especially for women or someone who just doesn't have much hand strength. Thank you Grower's Solution!!
Works exactly as advertised and is easy to install
Made for a very simple/easy installation - thanks!
Shade cloth was well made - grommets and hooks make for an easy install - thanks!!
I've never seen such a thorough test as yours. I'm very excited to get my results. I will purchase again and recommend it to everyone who plants any type of garden!
Slow on receiving the kit but quick turnaround for the results. Found out about the kit from Deep South Homestead on YT. Test results pinpointed soil deficiencies and factors that are within range for vegetable growth. Knowing the deficiencies saved me money by not having to try hit and miss amendments. Time will tell but I believe having the test results will help me get the soil conditions tuned in to better growing success of both fruits and vegetables. I will submit another test this fall to check results and prepare for next year.
