I feel like you almost said something other than "big black cloth" lol!
I would really like to know what other veggies profit from shade cloth in the summer. I feel it has been two hot over the last month in my greenhouse.
Would ventalation and fans and misters not work? Is shade clot a mandatory?
Are there other ways?
Thanks for the video Curtis! Our farm, @microledonfarm , is in South Carolina. I’m currently looking at shade cloth for our lettuce production. In your expert opinion, should I go with a 30 or 50% SCloth?
Thanks again for all the awesome content.
I don't have like veggies or fruits but I do have succulents and although they enjoy the sun, too much of it can kill them and I'm hoping that the shade cloth can help them grow/photosynthesize rather than burn and die
Hehehe where i live its 50c outside . That mean 90c in greenhouse or hellhouse
perforated mesh…
I have a small garden and have experimented with old bedding sheets. I live in the Southeast US so shade cloth is necessary.

Using Knittex SpectraNet here in my Csa climate (no rainfall in summer, days of 40+ C often). There really is no other way to protect stuff. Still having massive seed dry outs though 🙁
I'm in SW Pa and in zone 6a winter hardiness zone and my GH is on the South side of my house since that is the ONLY place it could go. I had a potted tree get baked last fall from my GH getting too much sun and heat (over 100F) I have JUST got my GH last summer about August 2019. Maybe I could use just SOME shade cloth? OR maybe I should only bring some plants in the GH when it gets REALLY cold. My GH has reached 100F THIS WINTER also, a few times. I have some Desert plants that NEED full sun in there also though. It has only 2 venting systems in it. One is in the back and 1 is in the door, I must manually lower the window and have it so that the screen is opened just like a storm door is. The back vent doesn't open like it should either.
This video is old BUT, I am thinking part shade cloth and part full sun, anyone have any ideas? My GH has NO roof vents at all.
We are the shade cloth manufacturer in China with competitive price, PM me for more details. whatsapp:+8618265721197
Hey, thanks! Great stuff! I actually uttered 'Urban Farmer' prior to stumbling across your page. I'm a decendent of the Platte family, mom's side, Circa. 1860 – Costa Mesa , CA. – Dirt Farmers, Love ya!
Is it shade is sufficient to use for park my car
1st year gardener. wondering why seed packets say full sun which usually means 8-12 hours a day.
A shade net greenhouse is way better than a plastic greenhouse. Some of the advantages of a shade house include being cheaper, being more durable, being more effective in summer, being safer to farm workers as it has great ventilation. Its also easier to build or repair.
I've erected linked 16ftx52" cattle panels into a high tunnel, of sorts that is 7ft tall and about 5ft wide, by +/-8ft long. They are held in place by T-posts and wired together. Underneath I have two 2+ft beds on either side of a ~1ft pathway down the middle. The basic plan is to plant climbing plants like pole beans/sugar snap peas, cucumber/etc just under the wire, letting it all grow up and over the 16ft cattle panels, which will provide dappled shade and much cooler underneath for my leafy greens. I can grow multiple crops in the space, harvest from both inside and out… First trial season coming up next Spring, here in southern Alberta once the snows pass…..
I live in the Caribbean where it's always very hot and I wanted to use shade cloth for chives but was advice not to what is your advice on this I was thinking 25-50% shade cloth
How do you keep Ants out of you greens??
Would not the black shade cloth create heat vs white
1:20 So-CAL looking for solutions!
BC is really hot??? It's so far north
Where did you buy your shade cloth as your link is not working
I want to built green house on my house terrace for indoor plants , how much percent shade cloth should i use ?
I am in Michigan. I use it on my kitchen garden which faces West. So on hot days 90 or above, I drap it on poles and remove at night. Facing the west, the sun gets super hot on that side of the house. I use 50% shade cloth.
if having to remove for a 2 month period should u fold it or something else
