Protect the harvest

If you live in a Mediterranean or arid climate in summer you have to protect the harvest from the relentless sun that burns everything. We already saw in a previous article the importance of the location of the garden. We also saw that creating artificial shade if we do not have natural shade is very important.
In spring we explained how to use the association of plants so that they protect each other from the inclement weather as well as from insect attacks.

But when the end of summer comes we also encounter other problems if you live in a Mediterranean climate you will know very well. With the sea at more than 28 degrees of temperature. All this accumulated energy is unleashed with the arrival of a little cold air from the north and the most terrible storms are unleashed that can destroy your entire harvest.

We will not be able to avoid the strongest ones that occur on rare occasions but we can protect the harvest from the most common ones. Windbreaks work very well to avoid the premature fall of the fruits. For hail, protective nets are ideal, but they can be very expensive. If we have shaded the hail, these nets will help if the hail is small.
We also have to be very careful when collecting it and not leave it longer than necessary.
