DIY: All-season vegie shade tent

摘要

Our vegie patch was getting scorched by the West Australian summer sun, such that no vegies survived the summer. We needed shade and we settled on providing a shade-cloth 'tent' for the vegies. Here's how we went about it. When we bought the block on which we built our house, there happened to be some old two-inch (in old money) water pipes lying near the bottom boundary fence. As an avid recycler, I said, "they'll come in handy someday." And 45 years later, they did-as the uprights for our vegie shade tent.
