Anybody ever worked much with shade cloth in their outdoor gardens before? Thinking I'm going to need it with the Vegas desert heat come mid summer. But I'm wondering if I need to have it ready to go when the plants first go outside in early spring so they get used to growing under it, or if it's better to wait until the real heat starts kicking in. Thoughts?
I have used shade cloth but not for this.
You do need to "harden them off" first by setting them outdoors in the shade to get them used to the temps. You can use shade cloth just for this. Most garden plants need 3 days of shade at least.
