Default Poor Man's Shade Paint

I wish someone had shown me this years ago. As soon as the summer temperature begin to approach the 90 degree mark, I throw buckets of mud on the greenhouse plastic. It immediately drops the temperature inside and makes it a lot more comfortable for both my plants and myself. The mud must be re-applied after a heavy rain, but it is quick, easy, and free.
