I recently tilled a former section of backyard lawn and plan on 
planting tomatoes and chiles.  It'll be almost impossible to get 
all the old bermuda grass out, so I'm going to lay down a layer 
of black plastic to try and keep the bermuda under control.  The 
summer temps here in sunny SoCal frequently range from 90 to 100 
degrees, so I'm thinking of covering the black plastic with a thin 
layer of mulch of some kind to keep the soil from getting too hot 
and cooking the plant roots.  I'd like to use something I can till 
into the soil after the growing season.  Anyone done this before?
Any suggestions...?
