Protect plants from heat | Sustainable Gardening Australia
aussie.zone
In a warming climate plants need to be protected from heat. Methods include using shade cloth, sheets, curtains, temporary frames, appropriate watering, mulch.

I am starting to make plans for the summer vegetable garden, and one of the big issues I will face will be too much sun. I need to work out ways to provide shade to the main garden, most of which gets full sun. I don’t have money to spend on anything too major, but I have some shade cloth and bamboo so will hopefully be able to rig up something that works without impeding access too much.

What does everyone else do to protect their vegie garden from excess sun over summer?

    I like that - I was thinking more in terms of a fixed bamboo structure with shade cloth tied to it, tying the bamboo to the shade cloth so it is more like a blind would work much better, and probably be simpler. Thank you!
