Thanks for this @gardengirlcanada. I've never come across this before.
Is there any risk that beneficial creatures like earthworms will be killed in the process as well?

I lift up my plastic and there are TONS of worms! Anywhere in my garden I can find plenty of worms. During tte heat of the day they tend to go a bit deeper to the cooler soil but the other 12 - 16 hours they are all near the surface.

It definitely also kills some beneficial fungi & micro organisms. After using this method, I would put down compost or compost teas and do a mycorrhizae & effective microorganism soak to bring the life back. :)
