  3. Hi dear sir. Thanks so much for such a valuable information. I want to know what material or type od shade net to use for providing darkness to poinsettias for bract coloring. Plz guide me. Thanks

  4. Argh, the sun is killing my tomato plants this week. If I water them too much they get blossom end rot, if not they just wither.

    It's funny that cucumbers wilt a lot in the sun, but they seem to survive and bear it a lot more than tomatoes. Basil grows better.

    What I want to know is how to built the structure to hold the shade cloth over my plants, but not have it be a danger in high-winds where it could tip over and break stuff or fly away into my neighbors windows or something?

  5. This shade cloth is good for even where it is in the 80s.. my raspberries burn because of the brightness/intensity of the sun, so even 80s temps can benefit from shadecloth to cut some of the intensity of the rays down.. works for me and my raspberries never get burned anymore.

  6. If you want to add natural CO2 to your garden all you need to do is go to Dollar Tree and they have incense sticks for your garden for $1 and that adds natural CO2 to the stoma in the leaves
