Enjoy a Riverside Renewal in Full Bloom spring/summer 2017 Enjoy a riverside renewal in full bloom The only AAA Four Diamond Condominium Resort in historic Williamsburg greenThumb Try this Kingsmill Gardening Hack Want to pass on the pesticides but still get a gorgeous garden this year? The Kingsmill Landscape Team walks you through the must-try technique for Spring…SOLARIZATION. "Solarization, as its name implies, uses the sun's energy to kill soil-dwelling organisms—including unwanted plants (bermudagrass), insects (grubs) and fungi (too many to mention)—that would otherwise overgrow, eat or infect a new garden," says Josh Despinis, Landscape Superintendent. Although this technique is a go-to for the Kingsmill landscaping pros, the process is easy and inexpensive enough for homeowners to tackle on their own. Here's how: 1 Water the future garden area well 2 Lay a piece of clear painter's plastic over it 3 Seal the borders of the plastic with soil bags or other heavy objects 4 Wait for the sun's rays to do the hard work Just like a car's interior, the sun will heat the plastic-sealed ground, getting hot enough to destroy plant parts (seeds, rhizomes and tubers), insects (both eggs and adults) and other harmful microbes. The soil should be sterilized when it reaches approximately 130-degrees Fahrenheit at a depth of about three inches. You can use a spare digital cooking thermometer to measure the temperature—just realize that the process takes a few weeks to complete. If you're not keen on giant sheets of plastic laying across your yard for weeks at a time, pick less visible areas to give solarization a try (maybe in containers?). This way, you can grow a resort-worthy garden right at home to enjoy all season long. Craving those colorful Kingsmill tulips? Start planning your Spring getaway right here.
