Bob
When you use 30% shade on lettuce, other greens, what is the impact on water consumption and plant size? Do you reduce water consumption at all? Do you get better quality? How do you set up the shade cloth over your crop? Sorry if I’m asking you to give up secrets!

I found that 30% reduces temps around 10 degrees but more importantly any shade reduces the heat buildup in the leaves from direct sunlight which I think is worse than high air temps. I use 50-55 and 30% and prefer 30%. Over time I plan to replace all my shade with 30%... Bob.

Hi All. I want to try shading lettuce and spinach this year. My idea is to put shade cloth over low tunnel hoops and stake down. For those doing this, what shading do you recommend - 30%, 50%, 60% ?
thanks,
