Why grass grows better under trampolines

Too much sun isn't good for plants and can also dry the soil out excessively. Which is why the grass is usually longer and greener under your trampoline.

I had the same effect behind my solar panels and used the space for sowing seed and growing young plants. The ducks would also use it as a safe place to hang out with their babies where they could keep an eye on them all.

This video explores some of the ways to utilise that shade to improve yields of crops like corn, tomatoes and grapes.

My sister had a good germination of holly seedlings under her kids trampoline.....

Why I consider earthworks so important… not only do they hold water but they provide a diverse patchwork of sun and shade.

I’ve noticed the same effect in my silvopasture.  The hard part is maintaining the proper amount of light when the trees are growing fast.
