I think a heavy mulch layer is more beneficial than the cloth. I use it on several of my rows. But the row I skimped on the pine straw has had the poorest results. All the rows have irrigation to the plants.
Did whack a SVB on my butternut plant this morning. Doesn’t seem to matter what bed I put them in, they find the plants. Trying one last time for an okra crop. Hopefully these take off so I can get some in freezer before duck season. Peppers and eggplants are on a tear. But sun scald has been an issue with the peppers.

Sun scald has been brutal this year. I even thought about putting up some of black mesh cloth (comes in tarp size) and see if that'll help.
Yesterday I cut down all my green bean and butter bean rows. The butter beans never did do much.
One thing this year that I tried just as a WTF lets see what happens. I bought bags of black beans and black eye peas from the grocery store and planted them. BOTH put out like gang busters. The black eye peas put out better than anything else I planted. I have gotten 3 bushels off of them so far and they are full of blooms again as we speak. Just food for thought.
