To any of you gardeners out there...
We have a pretty good sized garden so we can grow a lot of veggies. We've found that the heat of summer can scorch more sensitive plants such as our variety of lettuces. So we've decided to install a black garden net over the portion of the garden where those types of plants are grown.
Garden nets come in a few densities which indicate the amount of sunlight (and heat) they absorb. So the question is, what density do others use here to get the best results? I don't want it too thick or the plants won't grow as well yet I don't want it too thin or it will not work as I need.
