Mustard timing was perfect as the day after we tilled it rained just over 1 inch. Watering is very important after tilling the mustard under as it activates the mustard to produce "gas". The water also helps seal the soil surface so the mustard gas does not escape. In an ideal situation mustard, combined with manure and covered with 2 mil plastic during the heat of the summer for solarization will work better. Next summer I will be fumigating 2 areas and will show photos in my diary.
