RE: SOIL SOLARZITION

(OP)
NOT EXACTLY,THIS PROCESS INVOLVES TWO SHEETS OF CLEAR UV GRADE PLASTIC WITH A 3TO 4 INCH SEPERATION BETWEEN THE TWO SHEETS OF PLASTIC IN ORDER TO CREATE ENOUGH HEAT TO KILL WEED SEEDS & UNWANTED SUB TERRANIAL PEST.
 MY CONCERN IS HOW LONG COULD THIS METHOD BE APPLIED BEFORE IT STARTS TO NEUTRALIZE THE NUTRIENTS IN THE SOIL.
I LIVE IN NORTH EAST MISSISSIPPI,IF THATS ANY HELP.
