It is essential to use some form of shade protection.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a simple wooden frame to support a light covering of branches, thatching grass, sticks or shade cloth. The shade must not be too dense.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure the frame is high enough for the air to circulate underneath it. It is better not to attach the branches or grass so that it can easily be taken off if the sun is replaced by days of grey, overcast weather.<\/p>\n<p>Cut up transparent plastic shopping bags and open them up and use them to shade seedling trays. All you need is some sticks at each corner (pushed into the tray) and the plastic can be clipped onto the sticks with clothes pegs. Then it is easy to put on or take off.<\/p>\n<p>Mulch is another way to protect the plants from the heat by keeping their roots cool. Use organic materials like pine needles, thatching grass, shredded newspapers, or eggshells (that will also keep snails away).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kirchhoffs.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirchhoffs<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawliving.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Raw Living<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>TEXT: Alice Coetzee<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea behind succession planting is to stagger the sowing of your crops to avoid the feast or famine scenario, that soften occurs in food gardens.\u00a0 In other words, don\u2019t just plant one crop in spring and think that it is all over.
