Q.Can I Spread Fungus Infected Soil On A Plastic Sheet, Cover It With Plastic, And Leave It In The Sun To Cure?

Zone T0J 1X2 | Anonymous added on April 29, 2024 | Answered

This spring my carrots, which froze under a cardboard cover in the winter, developed a fungus. It’s a 4’ square patch. I live in Alberta, near Calgary. I’ve never had a garden fungus before.

You can just cover this area with clear plastic and let it bake. You don't need to remove the soil.
