 cooking your soil, what are you talking about? Why would we want to do such a thing? We don't actually want to bring your soil inside your nice clean house and put it in the oven, but we do want to solarize it. And we do this when the soil is just not cooperating any longer. You've got too many insects, diseases, and weed seeds that are floating around in your turf or your planter beds or whatever the case may be. And it's a very simple process.
