noopin2014 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi, i live in issan the high temperature and the strong sun burn my tomatoes and vegetables plants. Could you advice me a good and durable solution please ? Net (black or green) or plastic film ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djayz Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I've always found the netting to be an ideal solution to this problem. I don't think the colours, black or green, make any difference - could be wrong though. It's been quite some time since I've had to buy any netting, but I do remember that it's divided into two categories - 50% and I think 70% protection. Regarding growing tomatoes: even with the net protection, I used to always lose my tomatoes at this time of the year because of the heat so now I simply sow them in Aug./Sept. and that way I can harvest the fruit before the end of the cool season.

I would get the green, maybe it wont soak up and retain as much heat as black. I think I have seen 80% reduction type. Put in drippers at a low flow rate and run them most of the day but still will prob. fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
