Edith Fejeran it’s been about two weeks now and my tomatoes are still flowering, so I’m hopeful this will work!

i have new tomato plants out now and the temps are over 90degrees...should I use a shade cloth until the intense heat is over?

Can I just use it by draping it over newly-planted shrubs that I want to protect during the hottest parts of the day in July and August and removing it when the sun goes down? Thank you.

Yes you can! The only issue you may experience is if it's windy the cloth may come off. It has this webbed quality to it where it will cling to stuff, but a strong wind can pick up the cloth.

@@augiewithgardeningforbegin5574 Thank you. Much appreciated. I will give it try and also try it a few hours a day in the afternoon on the lawn in July and August.

Can you pick up the shade cloth at Home Depot or Lowe's?

@augiewithgardeningforbegin5574 5 жыл бұрын

David Deane I didn’t check Home Depot, but the ones I saw at Lowe’s were nice but provided too much shade. I was shooting for 30-40% and theirs were much higher. Your area may have different ones, though! I know both places have regional stuff so it’s still worth looking into. I ended up getting mine on Amazon.

Good job 💐💐 .. But it is black .. So don't you think it will be hot ...?

@augiewithgardeningforbegin5574 4 жыл бұрын

ibrahem kadhum it’s actually not bad! I’ve sat under the cloth and it’s much cooler than in direct sun. I think the cloth is also high enough to where most the heat it absorbs doesn’t get down to the soil, which is really what we want to keep cooler.
