What I mean is, do you get better crop yield in one year and a year later you don’t get much depending on how bad or good the season was?

I’m at zone 7 UK if that helps. We’ve just started to try gardening this year and the summer season has been scorching most of the time and with autumn rolling in it’s still fairly warm but not sunny.

      No we didn’t have the chance to set up any shade cloths, should we have done so? I know you can set them up during colder seasons but I dunno much if you could during hotter seasons also.

        Shade cloths are for hot seasons, hence “shade” in the name. They protect your crops from the sun and can help with pest damage as well. They come in a variety of different shades depending on how much light you want to let through. You can use them during the cold seasons but there are better products that are specific to those seasons, such as cloths that don’t block much sun but hold the heat in.
