I have tweaked the mulch color in high tunnels...straw for reflection, black for absorption. Depends on the ventilation/heat gain during a sunny day. I try to collect hard data on what's changing and when and then make decisions. A minimum/maximum thermometer-a soil thermometer etc. I think that soil thermometer is essential inside and outside the house-takes your mind where your body can't go.

Is it preferable to have straw mulch to keep the soil heat in, or black plastic to heat the soil daily and hope for the best at night. Any ideas? Celeste High Horse Farm Laramie WY Snow?
