Hi All,
This is my second year using earth boxes. I realized last year I used the white side of the mulch cover up - but given the weather when I planted this year I left the black side up. I have planted tomatoes and peppers - and both have leaved out to the point where they cover a lot of the black cover. My concern is that it will be hotter than 85 degrees from about now through August. Should I be concerned? i can't take off the mulch cover. Is there anything I can do if the leaves covering the mulch cover isn't enough to protect from the heat of the black? Thanks!
