Just what I needed to protect my tomatoes from the sun.
I used this to shade my tomatoes from the brutal late afternoon sun. I saw production, and blossom drop drastically reduce after using this.
I haven't had this outside for a full season so can't speak to durability but it appears to be high quality and well-made, no issues with unraveling. Right now I've been using it to cool my soil to get beds ready for fall planting, and it's working great.
I am experimenting with growing lettuce through the summer in SE Tennessee, by using heat-tolerant varieties and shade cloth. This shade cloth is of a strong and good quality. I am very pleased. My lettuces are thriving.
