I like 30%. Its just enough to reduce heat stress but not too dark to slow growth... Bob.

We are looking at shade cloth as a means of delaying bolting in our summer lettuce.  We're looking at covering individual beds with shade cloth supported by #9 hoops, but am curious what shade cloth % you have found to work best.  30%?  50%?  Higher?
