I've never used plastic covers to try to dry out beds for irises but way
back when I was growing tobacco....
The seeds had to be planted in February & there was often a very narrow
window of time when the ground was dry enough that seed beds could be
fumigated and tilled. I remember using a big waterproof tarp of some
sort to dry the soil. I've been trying to remember how long it had to
be on the ground to make a difference. Maybe a month? Two weeks?
