Don't read this report, it will be boring :)
Actually, I'll follow up on my last quick report from the garden.
I bought a shade net, and prepared the bows, ropes ...
That evening night fell on us, but we prepared a searchlight. And we hung up the net and tied it at all ends. They reported calm weather without wind.
For today and the next few days, we still have work to do to secure the net. In fact, whenever we see that the net needs to be secured and hooked somewhere, we should not overtighten the net so that the wind does not tear it.
We also tied our tomatoes to the same structure with ropes. So we made a real maze with ropes. But luckily the passages in the rows were free, mostly.
Grass has sprouted through part of the mulch, we put down a thin layer. We'll have to add more to keep the grass from growing.
The spotlight was left in the garden, we need it in the evening. Because we work in the garden either early in the morning or late in the evening.
Today it was 34-35 degrees Celsius, for the weekend they are announcing 36-37 degrees.
Because the temperatures are very high for most plants.
We installed a watering system that we covered with mulch. To prevent excessive evaporation and moisture loss in the soil. We had to add a 40% shade net. That is about the optimal shade percentage for peppers.
We have 7-8 types of peppers and 4-5 types of tomatoes, these are our main crops and we try to protect them. And other plants will not complain about the shade either. Because the net reduces the temperature by 5-6 degrees, reduces plant stress and sunburn.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
Stay healthy.
