Plastic cover

Our Virginia Extension says:

Raise Soil Temperature by Using Black and Clear Plastic

The outdoor soil temperature may be manipulated by covering the ground
first with black plastic, then clear plastic with an air layer between
formed by a
series of thin strips of wood. The clear plastic traps solar heat, the
black plastic absorbs it, and the air layer insulates and reduces loss due
to convection and
radiation. A good soil thermometer is important so you can see when the
soil has warmed sufficiently to allow planting of the seed.
