Shading Tomato Plants

Gardeneer · April 17, 2021

Background..I am in SW North Carolina . My climate is more like SC.
My garden gets full sun all day. That combined with high temperatures
In 90s, ..Well it is too much heat and sun for the tomatoes.
DEBATE..I want to make a Structure and provide shade .
The Question... What type or schade cloth I should use, mainly what percentage
to Block the sun, ..?
I have just one row running in South to North direction. I think I know how to
build the structure, install the cloth.

I would appreciate your input.
