I noticed in the Farmtek catalog that they have a knitted shade cloth in
either black or white that can be cut without raveling. I was wondering
about trying it over hoops covering lettuce beds for summer growing. I have
recently seeded more lettuce and kept the soil cool(er) during germination
with rolls of burlap - but now that the lettuce is up I'd like to keep it
out of the heat as much as possible. And I hate the regular shade cloth
because of the raveling it does. Is there such as thing as a remay-type
shade?
