I'm moving this week and will have to get used to gardening in the San Gabriel Valley again. The only land my family will make available to me is fairly shady, though. I was wondering if it's possible to maximize the available light by using mirrors. I've googled a bit but what I'm finding has to do with ornamental use of mirrors in the garden rather than practical use for light. Does anyone know whether light cheating like this would work?
