The fumigation rig started its work on Whitmore ranch. Hooray! Since there is a school on the other side of the road on West side, we have to be careful. Yes, it's far enough that county laws allow us to fumigate it while school is in progress, but we decided not to do it, instead to save it for when school is out.
We pulled a "float" with a roller behind the rig to seal in the fumigant.
This stimulation of crop growth resulting from soil fumigation is important to assure maximum crop yields. I actually read somewhere about an alternative called, "soil solarization". In solarization, soil will be heated to 99 degree F for 2 to 4 weeks. I am not sure if it is effective enough.
