Bonsai Cover

Post by toohey »

Hi All,
I am after ideas to provide cover for Bonsais in the very hot Summers. Some say it is necessary during the very hot days in January / February. I have looked through previous posts and found a number on the construction of Bonsai benches, but not much on overhead cover. Any ideas or pictures would be great.
Also, what % of blockout cover should I be aiming for? Do you remove this during winter (I thought it might also provide protection from frosts)
In anticipation,
Michael

G'day Michael,

A quick search for Shade Cloth brings up 291 results. I recall there being a long discussion about shade cloth last year and I'm sure you will find your answers somewhere in there :lost:

Regards,
Steven
