Germination Netting

I didn't know I needed this until I used it

It was suggested by another grower that I give the germ net a try. We direct seed a lot of roots throughout the summer, and newly seeded beds were drying out in the hot sun. This led to suboptimal germination on some of our best selling crops. The 70% shade does great job of keeping the soil moist, and we didn't have to fear missing the new plants popping while under a silage tarp. The lack of a tarp also meant we could water right through the fabric if the soil did get too dry. Lastly, the heavy shade kept the soil temps down to further aid in better germination during the warm spells we've been having. Every direct seeded crop will go under Germination Netting from now on.
