hi all I'm grower Spain, temperatures here are very high and I wish someone could explain how I can fight the heat with the spray or fog

somehow I think the only way is with water, with micro etc.

thank you very much

tell me by mail that is difficult to grow in extreme heat, this year will try to follow the advice, but will use the shade cloth and misting

I have very sandy soil and need a good irrigation system, I am very close to the sea and I have the water at 80 inches, I hope this helps a little with the moisture in the plant

to use the shade cloth will my plant less photosynthesis? because they have less sunshine per day, this is also a question I have but it is surely worse than the sun without protection in the forest and burn my leaves!

each year is a new learning experience!! what a hobby!

howdy javier the shade cloth you need is only 15 or 20% shade stops leaf burn and still plenty of photosynthesis dont buy the black stuff. a light misting of water briefly during hotest part of day to cool plant helps its handy if you can set up a timer or tell the missus to get her sun hat on and hop to it
