Water bags mulch boosts vegetable yields in Idaho test
USDA ARS researchers report water filled plastic bags as mulch raised sweet corn yields to 28 000 pounds per acre and bean yields to 17 000 pounds per acre on 12 by 12 foot plots at the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station. The method stabilized soil temperatures and reduced frost risk during a cold snap.
