Perfect video! Short and sweet

Great informative video! The percentage of shading was extremely helpful as was the grommet clip idea!

[@theRealUnyte]

Thank you very much. You've helped me save my new sapling trees!

[@patriciavincent5076]

Excellent video. Short and to the point. Thank you!

Tomatoes self pollinate. Tomatoes (fruit) burns when too hot in the direct sunlight, thus, shading is needed. Flowers will burn up in high heat fallor off in cold weather. Ideal temp is between 55°-85° Below and above that, affects setting the fruit, either not pollinating or flowers fall off thus no fruit. Too much humidity affects the pollination, also. Some tomatoes are more heat tolerant than others. Some are cool climate types. It is good to get a list of those so you can grow what is best in your area.

Sneek Sheets I only have 80% shade cloth, would that be okay for vegetables to grow and produce.

[@davidbrand1668]

That’s some useful information. Thank you for posting this video.

[@KD-pz6rb]

This has been so helpful! I didn’t know there were grades of shade cloth. Tganks

[@morganivy4107]

Thanks! this video really helped! I'm planning on starting a garden and even in January southern CA can be pretty hot depending where you live

[@ELBlDu]

excellent video. Thank you for the detailed explanation. Ps, Liked and subscribed, FYI, you were mentioned in Joe Lamp'l Growing Academy! Yay. Shade is welcome while in this relentless heat this summer.

[@KiraiBK]

Great video and very informative. Thank you.

[@kevinhitchcock8672]

Very helpful video! Could you provide a source for the gromet you spoke of? Thanks

[@kevinhitchcock8672]

Update, I found them on Amazon, no need to respond. Thanks again!

[@MalaysianTropikfusion]

Thank you for this helpful video. It was really hard to find other such videos on the subject. I was thinking of using either cotton muslin or jute hessian cloth for my four finger limes which are due to arrive in about a week. But do you think they will withstand tropical weather? My only other option is plastic nylon 'tree bags'.

What would you recommend for succulents?

[@vin.handle]

I want to know if I can use shade cloth to protect parts of my lawn from afternoon sun and heat in zone 7 by laying it over the grass. Also, can I simply drape it over new plants to protect them?

[@badressam473]

I have a white and a gray shade fabrics which should I use I grow productive plants

[@stevekilpatrick7105]

who makes a large shade cloth...like a 40 ft x 40 ft ?

[@CRISTHAL21]

What about hydrangeas that are in full sun?

[@janiemiller280]

Hello, I recently rooted cuttings from my Donald Wyman Lilac #2 schrub. I potted them in containers with soil. I'm in the mountains of Colorado zone 4a. The sun is pretty hot and bright this time of year, late June. When I set them out on my deck they immediately started to wilt so I brought them inside next to my patio door and are looking much better. I thought I would put them under shade cloth back outdoors. I was thinking 50 to 60% shadecloth but all I could find yesterday at a Lowes store an hour away was 30% so I bought it. My question is, can I double layer this 30% and get more shade? Or should I find/order online something higher in %? Thank you for any help. Janie

Which shed we use for capiscum..black,green??

[@tetteviben]

Max temperature for capsicum is 27 celcius in my country Ghana, so you have to know the temperature of your growing area and select the best shade cloth by asking the supplier

[@GlennAshby]

How would you recommend connecting two large panels together? Sowing, gluing, or stapling?

[@samsdaughterdehaven9990]

zip ties and add more grommets ? I just accidentally discovered how hot the soil got in my raised beds (30 inch high 1/4 inch galvanized metal--old livestock troughs) and large round grow tubs. I'll be looking for ways to create large areas of cover.

[@_dakota_298]

What about grass to keep it from burning ?

[@Irwhodunit]

If your grass is burning, you have the wrong grass for your climate or it's not getting enough water.

[@markclark8706]

hey i am trying to grow pumpkins in texas, but the hot heat is stressing my plants and preventing them from producing female flowers, what kind of shade fabric should i use?

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

I keep hearing 50% for texas. That's what ima go with

[@SouthernCaliforniaGardening]

👍 - i learned about nolo from your video.. i have a horrible grasshopper problem, have you been successful with nolo?

[@SouthernCaliforniaGardening]

thanks, i am using it and noticing a difference but some of them aren't taking it and eating all my potato leaves.. i will keep spraying the neem oil and using nolo.. do you know if it needs to be changed out after a few days?

[@SouthernCaliforniaGardening]

thank u :)

[@t.swathireddy468]

Nice

[@JayBobJayBob]

Very nice, I appreciate you & your work! Can you recommend bird netting over grapes and avocado trees and such? Thank you.

[@JayBobJayBob]

GrowOrganic Peaceful Valley Thank you, very helpful!

[@SouthernCaliforniaGardening]

i just had to net my nectarines, i'm trying to keep my trees pruned to stay small, it's hard for me to net them if they get to big. so the birds are getting at your avocados? we had grasshoppers get our avocados and unfortunately they can get thru the bird netting.

[@Haxis3]

How could we do this on an industrial level? Like covering corn fields.

[@Africanweys]

better than buying a green house

I want to know if I can use shade cloth to protect parts of my lawn from afternoon sun and heat in zone 7 by laying it over the grass. Also, can I simply drape it over new plants to protect them?

[@Batwam0]

I want to know as well. Did you find any solution for this?

[@vin.handle]

@@Batwam0 On a 95 degree day, I put a thermometer under the shade cloth and found the temperature 10 degree lower under the cloth than above the cloth. So it helps. Since then, many of the plants in the area have grown and have provided enough shade without the cloth. In addition, the zoysia grass, which is more heat resistant than tall fescue, has taken over more of the lawn. So, I have less need for the shade cloth.

[@vin.handle]

Directly over the grass. The holes in the fabric should allow enough air circulation.@@Batwam0

[@GaryPillion]

What are your thoughts on colors, black green or white or a reflective aluminum? Would really appreciate your insight thank you so much for the video very well done!

[@sandiago7564]

Ever come to a conclusion?

[@gardenkhplus9521]

comparing between green shade net and black shade net using ?

[@diyhomeremedies4299]

Hi, do these mesh sheets catch the wind at all? I was thinking of setting up a patio cover, and I'd like to try a to layer a few sheets of mesh with spacing in between them so that I can have more shade but less wind damage than a fabric-style sheet.
