Hey guys, here's a topic id like your opinions on. I had a search and was not able to pull up any info, other than mulching blogs for winter protection.
Here in southern Spain, our summers can be brutally hot. its hot now but next month and august will be killers. I'm thinking, has anyone tried mulching their vft potted plants? to help reduce heat penetration from the surface and reduce water loss, if so what mulch did you try? I'm also thinking to maybe to just put a shade cloth overhead that would shade then during hottest parts of the day might be a simpler solution.
