Starting brassica seedlings for fall harvest here is REALLY difficult. The weather in July and August is just too hot, and getting worse.
I start seedlings under row cover low tunnels built of PVC hoops and rebar ground stakes. They are fairly strong and could take a lot of weight.
If I set up a system to trickle
water very slowly down the north side of the fabric, would I get significant evaporative cooling inside? Keep in mind that this is Denver, CO with low humidity, lots of wind, and high temperatures, an ideal drying climate.
I'm thinking of either a soaker or drip type hose connected to a garden hose, or a leaky gutter that could be refilled every day.
